Our main goal is to invest in single and multi-family properties here in CA and in AZ. 

why would you buy a rental in a SIDRA  you lose the depreciation benefits.. which is one main reason to buy a rental in the first place.. notes are the best vehicle for retirement accounts. 

If you're already at the 10 mortgage cap, selling just became a much more attractive option. 

I assume local banks/lenders would go to 75% but I may not get as attractive of an interest rate.

One thing I can say about the opposing side of the manufactured homes argument, is it does tend to attract a certain kind of tenant.

Try 123A Main St., 123B Main Street, 123C Main St etc. 

It needs a full interior wall repaint on the main floor and upstairs bedroom (bungalow) to clean things up.

That way you would gain experience, be able to siphon off a portion of that person's good reputation when you are trying to attract investors yourself, and you will make money in the process rather than potentially losing it.Most successful syndicators are looking to systemitize their businesses, and would like to hire someone at a low cost to do the work they don't enjoy doing. 

I'm mainly into short term rentals, but recently began broadening my REI exposure to learning about SF/multi-family properties. 

Convienant access to major job centers and a much lower price point than suburbs directly to the south make it very attractive to renters and great for cash flow.
