@Linda Roberts I would not allow her to use her security deposit as one month's rent, since there might be damages after she vacates and you might need to use the deposit funds.

If the lender doesn't want the deposit(s) shown as a credit to the buyer (after all, these are not funds used to reduce the cash from buyer, they are third-party funds), the new security deposit escrow account can be the line item beneficiary on the seller-side only.Line ~506: Security Deposit(s) to ESCROW (or similar).

I suggest you use around 10K to 15K to get a hard money loan set up at 100 percent funding (no money down) to renovate a property and then rent it out- but do not target making just enough to pay the mortgage.

@Dav Pohote reiterating some of the points here but one note to add is commercial property exit financing is different than DSCR 1-4s. 6 month title Seasoning is low as most lenders require 12 month stabilization for best rates, occupancy percentages of 90+, to name a few.

Almost weekly I get calls from agents and investors asking if I will sell a MHP to them or try to get free tips, picking my brain like that sounds any better.Today, an agent texted me for the tenth time telling me that his buyer needed to place 1031 funds and was interested in one of my parks.

You're losing up to $200 a month (on the high end) or $50 on the low end, again another $2400-$600 a year.

@Manny Martinez FHA monthly mortgage insurance is typically 0.85% of the loan amount, so you are effectively already paying the rate you were quoted, $200 per month on an $80,000 loan amount would be about the equivalent of a 3% interest only loan, now factor in the difficulty in finding a 2nd mortgage in todays rate environment that low and assuming the refi rate you are talking about is a fixed rate, your $200 extra per month is paying down the balance of the $80k further reducing the effective rate you are paying on the $80k, all while paying about the same effective rate on your existing balance when you combine your rate and MMI... seems like it is a good move to me or at least better than finding a 2nd mortgage.
