Finding modernizing the inside, providing a great view and service is doing the trick.

I would love to know some of your tricks ! 

@Jae Ha Jung - there are some tricks with cash out on Manufactured homes...1) We can do a conventional loan cash out double wide, but you are capped at 65% loan to value and a 20 yr fixed is required.2) We can do a FHA cash out refinance, but not in TX for this scenario.  

Hey, you are in the game now (while most aren't), and need to learn the tricks.....not the rules, those are easy, but the 'hacks' and 'workarounds' that exist in any business - or sport for that matter.You need older, more experienced folks who have been in the exact same spot to point out things like I just did.

A few deals usually does the trick. 

I see a lot of active investors transition into passive through taking their hard-earned crops and systemically diversifying it with an experienced syndicator that can yield them consistent cash flow so that the investor can move on to something more fulfilling and meaningful to them.The trick is to find someone that you trust.Congrats and best of luck:)

Hi @Ethien MoralesYou definitely have the right frame of mind in seeking a mentor - a seasoned local investor can be invaluable in helping you learn the tricks of the trade here.I definitely struggled to find some great mentors myself, however, and I think that my experience could perhaps be of value to you!

Doing the work myself (and using tips and trick to get high quality materials at a discount) should let me brake even.

The trick here, as you mentioned is to not have money, or have Negative money (debt).  

People need mentors...not gurus...but every label is there for anyone who wants it...and all different levels of what they can teach or how much value you get from their information...If they offer free value before selling you on something, this would be far better than here I am the guru expert buy this...Generally what they are selling is the tips and tricks they have learned along the way...General info free and valuable but the insider knowledge you have to pay for...that is the key component to being successful...and the bait to buy!
