There is a housing shortage in the city and rents for this are going for $900.Manufactured Home 2bd / 1 bath Current: $17k cashARV: $25,000Rehab: $3,160 Space rent: $515Rent: $900Tenant pays water, electricity, internet, etcIt feels like a good buy and hold strategy because rental are in such high demand in the area. 

I have EXCELLENT credit (almost 800) and am a business owner that showing a nice income on my tax returns.

So the basic financials are $281,900 purchase price, $100,000 rehab cost, then when this is complete the income of the property would be $850 and no utility expenses.I am planning on using the BRRR strategy for this property.My wife and my personal finances is I have $14000 in savings, $600 in another account and I have a line of credit of $40,000 with and interest rate of 7.8%.I have not exactly officially offered this $281,900 but I want to but before that I want to hear any opinions and things I may not have thought of.

I've read in various internet posts suggesting that a sheriff sale gives the property a "clean slate".

Use something like https://latchel.com/ and have a backup who can authorize work, maybe leave that same person a credit card (assuming they are trustworthy, like say someone you'd give power of attorney to).

Might need to have someone co-sign with you if you haven't built much credit yet. 

I was thinking of doing 2,200 and if the party pays on time then I will do a $200 credit towards the purchase... 

This strategy is all over the Internet and allows you to pay your home off in 5-7 years if done correctly.
