If you could find a duplex property (or a single family house that could be turned into a duplex--check any HOA restrictions first), or a "fixer upper" to live in, that could be a better use of the equity you have in the rental house.If you run the numbers and decide it makes sense to sell the rental house (check with your accountant, figure out closing costs to selling and buying) then you'll possibly have more money to put towards a primary residence.You may want to check the neighborhoods that fall in the school district you want to stay in and look in "under appreciated" areas...maybe not the A class neighborhoods, but ones that have potential of becoming "improved".While I understand your desire to stay in a particular school district, it's not the end of the world to consider other districts if they will allow you to build real estate/family wealth that will put your entire family tree in a better position."

This is about my 3rd analysis and I'd like to get some feedback on the report for this manufactured home.

One was a nice home on I think 25 acres and owner's girlfriend was living in it. 

Start with the statement you made that you think it might not be possible to purchase a home in your lifetime with your current income. 

My plan was to recast or refi a few months after we close on our current home.

That show is for the crazy homes that are weird.

They now have 5% conventional loans you can use on multi family homes now.

I have another one under remodeling that I plan to do as a short term rental (no experience yet, but this house is next door to my home).I have a dedicated website that I maintain myself where I publish the details, applications etc, also list it on zillow and do the screening through mysmartmove.

We're constantly improving the platform to keep it fresh and up to date.

Do you have a buyer's checklist or know where I can obtain one for due diligence on a residential single-family home?
