We obtained private money, a fix and flip loan, bought the house, completely rehabbed both sides , and then refied it.

Need lender financing.

We typically recommend a 2% gap before a refi, so you might want to aim for a 5.375% rate before speaking with your lender. 

If I'm in your shoes, I would consider chatting with a couple of lenders to start off with mainly because your lack of income history would restrict you in terms of the financing you'd qualify for. 

Manufacture homes are affordable and a great o get into home investing, Weather you are putting the on private land or using a community these can be great investments.

I'm looking to network with private lenders in the Baton Rouge area.

-Finding private money:  If you can find a very good deal then connect with a family member or friend that could lend you what you need for a hard money loan or to lend you the full amount.

Eddie - I would recommend getting in touch with multiple lenders and seeing what makes the most sense for you and your situation.
