Quote from @Fred Scott: Sunrise Capital Investors - Mobile Home Park Investment FundI've seen a few posts about them here but none of them actually talks about what the actual annual returns have been.They are advertising heavily for passive tax deductions which is fine but what are the actual returns over a period of (say) five or ten years?

When doing a cash out refinance, it's important to consider seasoning periods of the waiting period you have to have between when the old transaction closed on the hard money loan to the new cash out transaction closing.

I noticed the market was shifting, so didn't run to get under contract until day 43 of the identification period.

I tend to ask the same questions multiple times over a period of time to see if I get consistent answers.

The heating system, while straightforward, wasn't cheap for my 3 unit and will have a longer payback period. 

You could read 100 books and still need to learn more because certain things must be learned through trial and error.

When a rental is taken out of service for personal use the accumulated depreciation goes away over a short period of time. 

Even better, I might be able to snag it well under market value since it's an estate sale that's been sitting on the market for nearly 200 days.Here’s the challenge: while I could afford to purchase the property under market value, I’d be stretching my budget thin to cover the mortgage during the period I’d be remodeling the basement to make it rentable.

However what happens when the tenant vacates and now the unit has to be turned over/takes a few months to find a new tenant and during that same period of time the sewer line goes and you get hit with that $15,000 cap ex expense in addition to the vacancy and turn over costs.

There are quite a number of things that can make utilizing an FHA loan more difficult such as more barriers during appraisal, appearance of low qualification/little cash, typically longer closing period, likely higher interest rate, and PMI cannot be dropped without a refinance if 3.5% down.That said, just chain 5% down conventional loans, and make sure your duplexes pay for themselves.
