@Jacob ZeimetReal estate investment may be a gratifying and financially lucrative endeavor.

My question is, would you just let this ride or does it make more sense to attempt to catch them while they're working and ask them to stop?

;) "Numerous experts, including lobbyists and lawyers" have been happy to tell me I'm wrong, but failed to adequately explain or even attempt to explain why I'm wrong. 

Quote from @Chuk Obiazi: Hey guys, I have been attempting to get my hands on some real estate since march.

Just to 'let it out' I find him hateful and contemptuous of anyone who disagrees with him (small park owners, government officials, State regulators and of course any journalist who would dare attempt to report any news regarding MHP ownership. 

What do you recommend to ensure that listing agents do not get greedy and don't attempt to take more than 3%?

No attempts by any relatives to redeem at all. 

In my experience these are the levels of how financial fraud is doneLevel 1 - The “sponsor” is a fraudster from the beginning and the entire investment is a designed fraud designed to steal the investor's money Level 2 - The sponsor initially intends to operate legally and honestly but the temptation of easy access to money, usually fueled by addictions to drugs, sex, partying, etc. leads to the bad decision to line the sponsors own pocketsLevel 3 - The sponsor intends to operate legally but a crisis in their life resulting in a need for money leads the sponsor to “borrow” from investor’s funds with the full intention of paying it back ( which they are unable to do).Level 4 - The sponsor intends to operate legally but the assets under their management incur substantial loses; the sponsor attempts to cover up these loses by “temporarily” borrowing from one investor to pay another or submitting false results.

I've not invested in real estate before so I don't know what financing would look like for this endeavor.

Our existing home will need to have some minor repairs completed prior to attempting to rent out - paint, drywall repairs, etc.
