I have been able to save ~$24,000 from my work from the past 6 summers.

You may need to rehab just one unit, rent it out, then save up some money and rehab the next one.

Take the extra money you save by eliminating some of your 'wants' and pay down the principal. 

Auctioned properties seem to be funny things and not everyone does title for them.Then I sat on my hands for a month, paid for the property with cash (money came from various sources, including savings), and then tried to clean up the property.Then I gave up on cleaning it myself and looked to have someone else clean it.

Spencer Savings Bank has a commercial lending arm that underwrites these types of loans in NJ.  

Weed out the dilapidated MHs (which from the outside is most of them) Sell off as many MHs as possible striving to be that no park owned homes kind of place to reduce the maintenance costsHire professional management which should ultimately make the park more efficient therefore creating more cash flowDress the place up with some landscaping, maybe a new sign at the entrance, an overhang for the mailbox area, maybe a play park to really make is a classy family community.... basically whatever will make it appealing but still cost effective instead of the junk yard it is nowThere are roughly 5-7 of the approximately 9 acres for sale that are undeveloped.

I have roughly a little more than $3000 in savings, and looking to snowball some secure loans / cards to boost my credit.

A little background, i am 21 years old, i have 23k saved so far,I have my real estate license here in California but have not worked for any brokerage.

Also, groups of people from south Texas are use to cramming as many people as possible into the space available in order to save money.
