I suggest you educate yourself like never before and learn everything you can about RE investing.

It sounds like you're buying a condo at retail price, which I think gives you the least exit strategies.

Hope these suggestions help you out.

Thanks for sharing the information, I will look into all of the sites suggested

I want to flip to a retail buyer and I don't have my realtor license so I can't list it myself on the MLS. 

Be it Warren Buffet vetting a firm's IPO or one of our BPers finding a great property, either way I'm going to suggest that everything leading up to pulling the trigger qualifies as "work."

My background is in retail and hospitality industry, I know all about the long hours and late night calls.

Chris Mason  not being a retail lending expert.. the folks that bought the manufacotred duplexs from us got loans maybe of a commercial nature and not FNMAthe stuff I am doing in Oakland now is all SFR.. so no issue there. and NO I don't tear the tag off.we affix it to a permanante foundation it becomes real property.

I highly suggest you to read, "The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing".

I would suggest spending the few hundred dollars to test it from the get go just to make sure you don't find out too late and have done damage to it creating a "spill" which is a lot more money.
