The reason to have comparables is if you are representing someone or perhaps purchasing a house for yourself to live in.

In this case, you can use Rental Income from the units that you will not be living in and that income can count to help you qualify.FHA rates are going to be lower than conventional for you almost always, but FHA does have a 1.75% funding fee. 

I live here and I haven't seen more FSBO but I'm seeing a lot more wholesaling activity.

I am considering buying a mobile home to place on the land I live on.
