This is a manufactured home on acreage. 

There is no real standard past some really basic stuff.Seller that have 60%+ community owned homes for the most part, live in a far different world than the majority of community owners, so it is no surprise to me that they are trying to convince you and other inexperienced prospective buyers of their idea of the value of these rental homes.Try asking an experienced lender on manufactured housing communities what they think the value of park owned homes might be for lending purposes and you will have confirmation of what I am suggesting.

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Here are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0 https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbus

I then started exploring Modular housing (NOT a mobile or Manufactured ones) and found that they are built more stronger and efficient,   mortgage lenders do not differentiate it,  public records and MLS lists them as regular houses,  personally visited their factories,  seen met home owners who has been living in modular homes past 10+ years,  almost all module companies offer a turnkey service that takes care of everything from preparing the site to permits to setting up the house.   

Don’t get confused with modular and manufactured.

Have them leave at least 1 bundle of shingles so you have some for repairs and also will have the shingle manufacturer / color. 

The South Carolina Constitution allows all Real Property and Mobile Homes (excluding manufacturers, utilities or railroad properties) to be classified with a 6% assessment ratio.

I did see they were named one of the top manufacturing cities in US for 2023 or something along those lines.I think what you are doing so far is great.For DSCR loan around here you will probably need to put down 30-40%, since your rent needs to be greater than your PITI. 

I have grown to like the NW Indiana market vs IL due to manufacturing/industrial companies moving across the border, landlord friendliness of IN, cheaper taxes and it will also give me the opportunity to get started sooner with the price of homes.

I'm finally dedicating more time to my passion for real estate investing so I figured I'd drop my intro here now before I start posting.I'm 35 years young, a 15 year combat veteran, and currently own/operate a gun store in North Las Vegas as well as a CNC Manufacturing Facility that contract manufactures for firearm makers across the US and a few other continents as well.I grew up in Waterbury, CT and own properties there, as well as MT and NV.When I first got stationed in Las Vegas a little over a decade ago it was during the real estate boom and as a side gig I worked with property managers and flippers for a few years until the market crumbled.
