Quote from @Logan M.: I would love others to look up their market stats but I am not seeing mobile homes as depreciating assets in regards to their resale value.We bought a mobile home Dec 31st 2017 for $55,000 because the guy needed cash before Jan 1st.

Quote from @Kyle Joseph: @Tyson E Keslar There are a lot of variables to consider in addition to the roles and responsibilities that you have outlined.

The rate difference between FHA and Conventional is actually over 1% right now for Multi family propertiesCurrently the rate offered is 6.75% and 193/m in PMI (private mortgage insurance)That makes the payment with taxes and insurance roughly:$3453/monthTaxes were $3820, and insurance is $1800/yrCurrently this building can rent each 2 bed unit for up to $1800/m with tenants paying all utilities.All in cost to close is: $71,414.64If you rent both units for $1800/m you can expect gross cash flow of $147/mThis is the reality of buying a turn key duplex in the area using todays rates and prices.I want to stress, that this is actually considered a great property and deal in todays market for the areaYes, prices are high, and so area rates...My goal is to show what is actually going on.
