I guess seller financing leaves me vulnerable to Dodd Frank rules where I would eventually need to find an RMLO.I am also looking at lease options as an alternative method to essentially owner finance the mobile homes to buyers.

Would it be worth trying to do a subject-to, or refi, or some of these other alternatives.

If you're just now expecting you can make alternative arrangements for a new born in your home quite attractively - especially because you're looking to a very short term goal of getting into that house soon.There is no statutory period for you to use that property for investment before you move in.  

I like your inquisitive nature and will add that my wealth was made from building my own business.

I've realized that is what I am, a Manager first, but also an investor as a close second, so our firm is now naturally tailored to help investors. 

Also, keep in mind that you're going to have callers that are naturally rude/disrespectful people.
