Plus the 20%-30% more in gross revenue just goes towards utilities, furniture, etc.

If you had good credit (670-730 range), you have 20% to make a down payment, and sufficient income to qualify for the home you want to purchase - Would you choose the FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER or CONVENTIONAL purchase option...which would you pick and WHY?

Is there a way to utilize part of my Traditional IRA funds as a down payment on a SFH investment property without being penalized?

After going through appraisal and all the applications process, they rejected the loans, over how HOA consists of too many investors vs homeowners, I then picked another unit in different community, did the same process, then they rejected the another execuse over HOA, It costs me several months times of refi and I requested the refund of appraisal fee and didn't get this refund. 

@Matt Powershello. pick a place where you want to live, and house hack there. 

This will show you that people have options to go out and pick another house over your place. 

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

While I want to work with investors, do much more volume, and am okay picking up the phone and making calls (he is not).

U can pick were you want to live in CA its not all  Watts  Comptom Oakland etc etc..

I'd like to take a deeper dive into subject to, wraps and other related things to educate myself and see whether some of these might be things I can actually utilize in my real estate journey.
