The cash flow is great, but I am looking for a lending source---private or a financial institution---to buy many more like these---they need to be in small cities though.Property management is not a problem, since they own the house and will fix it up themselves. 

@Charles Burgess To be honest with you, the chances of you buying a lot and building on it for less than the cost of buying an existing property are pretty low.

Can anyone recommend any good note buying marketplace forums for buying/selling. 

The great. thing about the 1031 exchange it is will allow you to sell in Tampa and buy any type of real estate anywhere in the US.Here's one caveat to explore however. 

If the value goes down the tenant doesn’t buy or renegotiates and you lose.

If you were me, would you be looking to buy now or waiting to see how the higher interest rates and end of the pandemic (hopefully) impact prices?

Buy with seller financing with terms that allow a 48-month principal payment of $150,000 and you've achieved your first question.

Many people buy in larger cities like this because the paper cash flow looks sweet, but the reality of it, across the board right now - good cash flow equals lower neighborhood class, more variable tenancies, and tons of hidden capital expenditures.

That way we can buy homes already placed in parks and make cashflow + a down payment and don't require a real estate license.

I've seen it price many people out who thought that in 2020 it was a terrible time to buy and now regret it immensely.
