I am guessing that the vast majority of homes 10+ years old had some sort of water damage at some point, most had probably several.My own home is only a few years old and we had the washer spring a leak and a few years later the RO system in the kitchen started leaking into the cabinet.Seller disclosures are pretty useless in my opinion.

I have construction loan on the current house I'm building and used similar strategy (land was purchased outright and used to cover majority of the down payment).

Now how do they pay a 12% return if the majority of the parks are not profitable?

I found this article that allows Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans to move the loan to an LLC: https://servicing-guide.fanniemae.com/THE-SERVICING-GUIDE/Pa...as long as I am the majority owner in the LLC. 

The only time I'd say it's an okay idea is if either: The area you're investing in is expecting so much appreciation that you will easily profit off that (watch out for mortgage interest though...the appreciation needs to be higher than what you pay in that and expenses to make it profitable)You have some specific reason for wanting to do it- family ties, future home, major long-term hold, etc.Maybe I'm forgetting another one, but those two are all I have for now...

I put a lot of time into listing and title, so likely good there.For amenties, I do have some of the major ones referenced - hot tub, Wifi, and stocked kitchen.

It was a rental for us about 1-2 yrs after a major remodel.

Screening and Gaurantors are important, you might want to look at majors for some more serious ones that don't have time to party. 

This is for 3 properties I use spreadsheets, that I also provide to my clients if they don’t have a good accounting system. it can be a lot of work with making sure you have all the receipts, issuing 1099s, ensuring you have deductions, etc. as such, I recommend doing bookkeeping monthly. what’s funny is that as a tax preparer and advisor, the majority of the time isn’t spent entering numbers on a return.

Experienced managers can help evaluate potential investments by providing insights on rental demand, market rents, tenant preferences, and location-specific factors that affect leasing success.For example, rental properties need to be close to conveniences like major roads, shopping, and schools.
