My current idea is to acquire a mobile home lot in Arizona (not in a park, just a single residential lot near many other privately owned lots for MH's), seller finance the MH if possible, and rent the lot.. kind of like a single-pad MHP. 

@Olu Owasanoye, Yes, I’ll private message you!

Private lenders or Hard money lenders may help you.

The preliminary information I have about the potential seller is that they're seeking to reinvest in a different locale, so looking to dump all properties in location A to reinvest in location B.Some questions I have:Big bank vs small[er] bank vs private lender - who, if any, would be most inclined to view this as a basket for a single mortgage?

One of the BP books I ordered that I am interested in is Raising Private Capital, which is essentially a how-to guide for almost anyone in any financial position and how they can continually build their portfolio by working with others and their money.

You should be able to borrow from a private investor since you have a good amount of equity in the property.

AirBNB obviously incurs the utilities (including internet...maybe cable/security), property management, and hotel/local taxes that I'm still trying to educate myself on...not to mention the upfront/semi-ongoing furnishing.

Based on research of recent sales in this particular condo complex and nearby 1/1's with similar square footage I feel quite secure.

Major employers are the base, federal agencies such as border patrol/homeland security, school district, city, and the hospital.

To sum it up, I think the best route is to go for the MA in finance and get your RE education on the side with books, courses, mentorship, experience, etc.I'll be shooting you a private message to connect...
