One in DFW, DFW Hard Money Lender (not sure if they lend nation-wide), and one in Houston, Zues Mortgage (they do hard money nation-wide).

Wants to rid of a mobile home that is in a park, meaning they pay lot rent.

Pros - Higher rents than renting to a family, I can pop in anytime to check on the place, if one guy moves out, I don't lose the whole rent, no wear and tear from kids or pets.Cons - Higher turnover (I usually do month to month which also has higher rent), potential for parties (but I screen very carefully so this has not been an issue at all), parking, roommate drama (rare with professionals).Just another option to consider.I'm a mortgage lender myself and I wish we had a 90% product like that MACU loan!

Not only is that an occupancy violation but specifically marketing your property as student housing violates fair housing.I wish landlords followed the law, because putting the extra occupants in the property crowds parking on the streets and overwhelms them with traffic.

The positive of our market is strong nation-leading GDP growth and job growth, with a high demand for rentals.

@Basit Siddiqi If I were to hire an accountant, it likely wouldn't be from H&R Block or any other national chain.

Given your situation and current market conditions, you should sell and take the gains and park it until you get things in order. 

2 - Can anyone recommend a bank (local or national) or lender that would be able do the financing?

My husband wants lots of parking, we own three vehicles and a travel trailer, plus we need parking for renters.
