The catch is that Fannie and Freddie (to the best of my knowledge) will not underwrite a 2 unit manufactured home (it’s not a modular, it’s a double wide duplex, 6/2).

Finally, identify some local REIAs and start networking with local investors.Hope this helps!

I’d recommend doing something in the evenings and freeing yourself up during the day to build your network, shadow someone more experienced, research as much as you can about your market and attend as many community events as you can and practice working the crowd while you are there.

I do have several contacts within my network who are based in the K-zoo area.

I'm looking to connect with and network with members who have similar interests. 

Since then I've bought 4 more buy & holds, flipped 2 homes, sold 4 of the 5 buy & holds, and have passive investments into various commercial properties including a hotel in Dallas, a new construction of a student housing apartment in Central Texas, a land deal in Austin, TX, and a commercial real estate fund specializing in Class A residential assets in NYC.I'm looking to continue my real estate education, expand my network base, share my knowledge and experiences with others, and ultimately get into syndicating of my own deals.Happy to help anyway I can and look forward to getting to know the BP network!

I've been networking and attending local REIA meetings.

Why not take advantage of free networking and educational opportunities?
