With 5 kids, we had to start getting ready to leave the house at 10 for a 12:30pm departure.

I put an end to that with neighbors house-sitting anytime I leave.

So i am in the military and receive roughly 1400/month just for housing and where i stay now they take it all so i don't see that extra money.I was wondering if it would be a good idea to buy a manufactured home for say 40k and pocket the rest of the money left over from the mortgage for a year and a half until i leave the area.My concern is selling / renting out the manufactured home, do they sell or is it usually easy to find tenants ?

In theory, you can contract subject to good title and assign that contract, pick up an assignment fee and walk away leaving the closing and title matter to the seller and buyer.

I am sure there is a possibility of some other more creative way to make this work, but I will leave that to experts , but his price of $350,000 is to high.

Another benefit is that it can generate more tenant loyalty - as it can be difficult for tenants with dogs to find landlords willing to take them, so they will be less likely to leave.

If you leave before it's repaid, you'll have to pay it in full when leaving.

A take-it-or-leave-it price, no frills price.
