My portfolio does currently have two mobile homes so I generally know the difficulties in financings then compared to traditional homes but I’ve never done a new construction loan so I’m not really sure what’s allowed. 

I am curious to see where everyone is at and the difficulties they are facing with trying to scale their wholesale business. 

What are some difficulties I may encounter?

The difficulty with Section 8 is that you probably won't know exactly how much will be approved in rent until you're well into the process so you can't give the tenant a firm number if you're actually going off rent charged.You could just set it at $1400 and if rent comes back lower, no big deal, it's still $1400.Because the Section 8 process takes a little while (2 to 4 weeks in my market), I require half of the deposit at lease review/Section 8 paperwork signing and the other half on or before move in. 

If there are any ever technical difficulties, you’re forced to work through it via email.

You will find it very difficult to find financing due to location/low cost for lenders (commercial especially), finding good tenants is much harder and you will have to lower your criteria, safety concerns if you self manage, and difficulty trying to get anything done with the city.

There is also going to be difficulty for my new tenants to get their furniture and upstairs due to the spiral staircase hallways and thin walkways.

1) There is no prepayment penalty, if you see things are getting tight you can always pay it down 2) There may be some difficulty in doing a cash out refinance after purchasing the property, you may need to have owned it for a year etc

I got the estoppel letters with my most recent house hack and I still had difficulty in dealing with the tenants.

Hower a ´bad¨ property in an oversaturated market run will face difficulty being profitable no matter how expertly run it is.
