Larry Loftis on duplex, triplex and quads (see book of that title) runs the numbers and scenarios well..In short, that ugly duckling quad block may have some swans on it if you put on your landlord shaded glasses, the ones that see past the mattresses mayhem out front and that look at cash flow, economy of scale, ease of management, great financing (for four unit or less), cost per unit, etc.....

@Will RohanHey Will, we are moving into flipping manufactured homes on land after doing single family houses for the past decade. 

A recent triplex purchase was razed by a fire, which has put a bit of a damper on our scale-up for now.

To date, I’ve held all properties in my name and used a separate personal bank account for funds, but am now concerned more about maintaining anonymity, protecting assets, and overall structuring the business properly in order to scale the business.

If you are getting a prime lot with that mobile you could do a hard money loan tear it down and finance a brand new mobile/manufactured home.

Our portfolio has scaled up to 3 properties we will add 1-2 annually, both individually and through partnerships.

Has anyone else done full rehabs on a seller financing deal or is there a different way I should try to structure this in an attempt to protect myself and keep cash on hand to continue scaling?

It makes my job easier and I can scale the transactions I do.

An appraiser will need to do the same thing because a 1200 sq ft house price may not scale up to a 3000 sq ft house price accurately even if they try to adjust for it. 

My plan would be to use my VA home loan for either a duplex or triplex so I can take advantage of paying 0% down and so that I can scale up a lot quicker by having more units.
