If you will OWN the tank, you are in much better position and can get your propane from anybody you want.Avery is right that your local agent should be giving you specific contact info for all of these, including HOA, water, trash details, etc.Be SURE to get the contract and details your seller has with the existing PM.

I understand townhouse/condos are more of cash flow plays (vs. appreciation) so wanted to get in at lower price to be cash flow positive...hence the recommendation ask.Specific community names would be appreciated...e.g. one I'm aware of is Meadowridge townhouses in Coppell.

Without positive cash flow all the hypothetical "appreciation" amounts to zero value aside from bragging rights.

Fortunately, I've never had to take out student loans or apply for a credit card in the past; unfortunately, this leaves me in the position of having zero credit whatsoever, it's not bad, it's just that I don't have any at all.Is it possible to get any type of FHA loan without credit?

No hard feelings on this, it's just you need a lender that will put you in a position to succeed. 

You got this better things are on their way and stay positive that solution that benefits you will happen.  

Use that money to purchase similar positive cash flow positive properties using minimum DPs.Any equity in a income property is not performing to it's maximum and is a very expensive form of buying cash flow.

You want title to the property so that you can commit to investing in it.Lease options can work, but most sellers are not savvy enough to understand them, and they don't want to be put in a position to take the MHP back when you decide to let it go, walk away.

When the property market tumbles (if it does), I'm in a position to scoop up a bargain.

You really are not in that bad of a position.
