Houses over $200k very rarely come close to 1% (and I haven't yet gotten into depth analyzing anything larger than 4unit).

Hello,I've spoken to two well reviewed mortgage brokers that I found on Zillow, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get pre-approval for an investment property.Here's my situation:I have been a tax paying pro gambler since 2010. 

I would be happy to PM to talk more in-depth if you like!

It’s also 20 yrs old.That's what I have gathered - between the tie downs, mounting, depth, etc.

And those you'd need to have a feel for in pretty good depth.

The reason is there are so many aspects of MHP's that no lawyer usually has that breadth AND depth to effectively advise on so many topics.With that said here is my recommendation if you truly need an attorney:Get a generic real estate attorney to help with a purchase contract, if that provides you comfort.Bring in specialists for help if you have specific issues in a certain area you need help (e.g. zoning, grandfather status).I have a custom 15 page MHP-specific contract I use for investor-owned MHP's (this contract is mostly padded with seller disclosures and outs for the buyer if materials facts are omitted - everything from utilities, zoning, and financials), and then for small sellers I use a 3 page TAR form. 

you buy @jscott  book on rehab   many rave about how accurate it is and helpful. that's an inexpensive way to get some in depth actionable advice.

It was a pretty beat up property in a tough neighborhood in the depths of the downturn.

There's a wealth of information on Biggerpockets and I would suggest doing some self-educating on the different aspects of REI through the "Education" tab up at the top of the site.To be a little more specific, search for "House hacking" forums and blog posts to get a more in depth look as to how to get started with your condo and /or multifamily plan.Also consider why a condo and not just a multifamily to start...I could almost definitely say you don't need a RE company at this point.Like @Cameron Norfleet said, you could start with reaching out to a lender to see what types of financing you will qualify for. 

I do a great deal of representation work in addition to year round in depth tax/business planning.
