But, i've spoken with some investors who wonder why their properties that are at market rent are "net less" than their properties that are not at market rent.Also, unless you are into the "cash flow" craze, generally long term rentals are building wealth through appreciation and amortization (i.e. the "good" power of leverage). 

Also, you can take a look at what's on the market now in the surrounding area to see if there are any other comparable mobile homes for sale.

There are a lot of great sales pitches out there that will offer you a "once in a lifetime opportunity" - lets be real, if this was such a great opportunity why would they need your money...

Her father is on board with the sale and even generously offered to give us a portion of whatever the net sale is.

Due on sale clauseI would like to hear people's opinions on this strategy if the risk/reward is worth it or to steer away

Back to finance question, would it be a better decision to take the funds from the sale of the 2 acre lot and pay off the current mortgage (~$150k) and live in the current home for a year or so (in hopes that interest rates will go down) then refinance that take out $400k from equity (~$750k) to build new house? 

What do you plan to do with the proceeds from the sale if you were to sell? 

I like that they have built-in solar panels and batteries to power the home in the event of a Grid-down sitaution.My concern would be: will they be valued as manufactured homes are?

The cost includes your stay, all food, drinks.I know many women go with a specific goal in mind, but there is so much power in just BEING AROUND people who you can relate to, who are doing what you want to be doing, and who usually happen to have creative solutions to problems you've been stuck on & had no one to brainstorm on with!

My issue is that it would take me another couple year to regenerate the capital that will be tied up in any potential property with a not great cash on cash return, and I know a lot of the power of real estate comes from leverage and loan paydown.
