I prefer to give careful, well reasoned advice rather than sloppy advice that could hinder someone more than help them.

I'm thinking I would really like to start investing in Mobile Homes/Manufactured Homes in Utah preferably in the Ogden area (mostly because that's where I'll be living starting this summer). 

My brokerage also buys investments so I have the ability to make cash offers for us on the lower priced apartments and offer sellers to use our contractors at our preferred rate if they need to rehab before they sell, we get this low pricing because we do a lot of flips every year.

Would prefer that they do the installation as well.

@Jarrod Deshields reach out to a local State Farm agent, or any agent you'd prefer, to go over your insurance needs. any good local agent can help you understand what type of protections you need. from my experience with State Farm, we don't care who you are renting to, just needs to be rented and not vacant long term. 

I think it is a personal preference.

I got nailed for this in my early days in Oregon lending in states that did not require a license..So if that's an issues it may be preferable to set up the company in a state that does not require a license . 

Which do you prefer, interest only or repayment?

If the option is avaialble from the lender we prefer to have the insurance escrowed into our monthly mortgage payment along with our property taxes.

Personally, I prefer to do it on my own.
