You do not want to try and hand hold a first time buyer and keep things moving and coordinated with inspections, lending, title, etc.

Financial preparedness is also key.

I told him I will be moving soon or my wife can move in first while I’m finishing up with my job in NYC, he still insists that I do not QUALIFY… any ideas?

to make it more difficult, I got my family of 6 move in with relatives in Virginia.feel free to question my intelligence 

Most of the people looking for arbitrage targets look for one-off Mom/Pop outfits that work off some lease they drew up in 10 minutes on Microsoft Word or a notepad, where subletting isn't explicitly prohibited.Because, again: if I have a property, and it can make more money STR than LTR, what sense does it make to give Broke Joe the keys when I can just make the money myself?

The ones too poor to rent anyway either get Section 8 to make up the difference, move or are homeless.

really the only thing in common with them is the homes are Mobile.MHP much easier to manage day to day.RV park lots of management issues also with RV the chems in the RV's are strong and it can affect how you deal with Grey water and sewage.. many RV parks though turn into MHP if the authorities just let the RVS stay and never move..

If you find one that house hacks better that's when I'd consider moving. $700 a month on rent you're paying what $1000 for living expenses.

I bought a lot 18 years ago with the intention of building a home and moving there because my best friends lived next door.

There will be a time in the future if you do move forward with this, 1 month, 1 year, 10 years from now, where one person is going to be upset because they are doing something that's "not their job".
