About 3 years ago she agreed to do a deal with me and we found the property and applied for the mortgage together and got to the inspection where a terrible problem was found with the foundation and that the walls of the building were significantly bowing.

This initial negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow.  2) the addition of the adu makes the property multi family and likely makes rent control apply.  

I agree with the time/effort rule.  

Will this seller financed payment count as a debt if I apply for traditional financing in the future?

My niece spent 12k learning to apply make up and be a make up artist.  

I’m not sure all of the regulations/rules to this in PA though.

@Martti Eckert here's the big issue that no one really talks about that you hopefully find helpful (this is copy & pasted):-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

However, I have found trails of information on the internet and FHA-type websites indicating if you relocate due to work, that you are not bound by the 1-year rule once you begin at your new place of employment.

I agree with Patricia, but there are always exceptions to every rule.

There are a lot of rules when it comes to buying a MH and if one thing is wrong the lender will deny the loan.Mostly pay attention to year built try and stay away from Mobile homes that are older than 20 years.
