My oldest child is going to college next year in a town where I could buy a house for $160k.

Personally, I've been investing in mobile homes as a buy and hold investor since 2007.

If you want to be cheap down to the dollar, tell your lender you’d like to buy down the rate and use the sellers concessions against that cost.

So when you buy at the sale, you get the deed.   

If you are buying property for yourself, you get to keep the real estate commission.3.

Hi , everyone  how many  5% conventional  loan or fha loan  can I have at a time  for multi units  property  on "primary residence " and  how  can i use this strategy  to scale  ,i.e buying  property  every year to aquire more. 

At the time I did not know enough about rentals and my financial partner was more interested in a flip instead of a buy and hold.

Income approaches (direct cap) are most relied upon in MH parks because the buyer is buying them as an investment and its the income stream that you are essentially buying.

Are you planning to buy in Arlington or open to other cities?   

Have you considered buying new construction?
