Thanks so much for any insights you can share.

I'm here on BP as a lending partner for investors and actually still serve part-time in the Missouri Army National Guard, myself.

Im new here and recently  saw a threat about housing for insurance companies .

Thanks Russell for the confirmation!

@Mostafa Koperly sounds like a good plan for the building! 

For HELOCs without W2 income, look into local credit unions or community banks, as they often have more flexibility with alternative income verification and rental portfolios.

Would be interesting to hear experiences others have had..The expectation for rent being used to help build credit has slowly grown over the years.

Also, the ability to export reports for partners or lenders would be a plus.Essential Data/Analytics: Reliable rent estimates, cap rates, cash-on-cash return, operating expenses (especially maintenance and CapEx), and local market trends like population growth or job market health are key for decision-making

I see similar mobile homes being sold for wildly different prices.

Jay,Thanks for the thoughts. 3 investors who have all lent in the past for various projects with other operators.My understanding is that if we own the land/dirt then it would be in an LLC.
