Put the money to work by buying a college duplex & had a new construction built here in Morgantown.

@Ali Boone-I realized my previous post didn't tag you correctly, so I wanted to make sure you were able to see my response.

I've been living in my home for 7+ years and I've seen the neighborhood change with some property owners renting out their homes instead of selling them.In that span of time, I have dealt with and encountered a slew of issues from many of the renters - the noise ordinance issue being the biggest complaint, based on many of the culprits blasting loud music from their cars at all hours of the day and night, with no regard for the time of day and who they were disturbing.Yes, I have called, the police - along with other neighbors, but being that I have lived the closest - with the culprits either living beside me, across from me and now adjacent to my bedroom windows as the others have either moved or stopped.The other issues have been lessened, like the previous renters shooting as they have moved, but all of this tension has been building.

I own a SFH that is not in a college town. 

As a check spot check, we recently secured an off market property where previous tenant pulled all plumbing and wiring through sheet rock which required a full house re-plumb and re-wire. 

My recommendation is along previously stated.... if you cash flow at least a couple hundred $ after taxes, maint, etc.... then minimize the down payment needed until you get to that number.

I believe you need to own the property a year, but you are able to purchase another property using the proceeds from the previous without paying ANY taxes.The process is a little complicated, but this biggerpockets article breaks it down well: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/09/24/1031-exchanges-real-estate/Best of luck to you!

The seller told that MHs are still in the name of a previous owner because of the paperwork to change it over did not make sense it's cheap $100 a month.

We have never analyzed a deal or anything previously and know that is the first step.

I explained co-wholesaleing and put her in touch with another wholesaler (the one previously in my area) to see if they could make a match.
