Another option is to look into some funds as well that allow smaller investments. some are anywhere from 500-$10,000 minimums and accept non accredited investors (through regulation a+).If you ran numbers of a loan paying p&i at 10% but ot being able to reinvest the principal payments you realize how low your returns actually are. so yes notes are great but also understand that idle money for any investment is not fun.

Do realize since they are mobile homes, and have VIN numbers you are not able to take out a tradional mortgage on them not to my knowledge.

After doing some research I realized that the first lien lender has so much control over the purchase price.

Hopefully they realize working with you and paying higher rent is better than moving. 

Accept it "as is" and fulfill the lease.By responding quickly, professionally, and confidently, they realize I am not an easy target and choose to move on.

I am starting to realize there has been a significant amount of consolidation in the space by private equity and other institutional investors. 3) From research it also seems like getting financing can be difficult without prior experience in the space.

Also, to your point, it's easy to realize returns off 35k invested - especially when the principle payment year 1 alone is around 15k.

Thanks for your insight, I didn't realize that's what it was- I wasn't 100% sure of the method, and knew it was in the "too good to be true" category, but that's a whole different presentation there of what this method really is.

@Felicia NituIn addition if you actually want to realize that value, you need to count another 5% for selling costs, and the taxes from the sale.Assuming a 20% capital gains tax, your total ROI on the above scenario would be about 12%, even with the numbers you were using. 

Things they wouldn’t have realized until I had their money and there was no going back.It goes both ways.
