@Jon Robinson well you could certainly do it as unsecured debt.

heres what i use. got it online somewhere: Notice of Late Fee AssessmentDate of notice: August 5, 2011Property: 1234 property Avenue propville, Ca. 92345Dear jon smit, Rental payment for the above property has not been received as of the date of this notice.

I agree with Jon - I would also be interested in hearing your MHP story.

@Jon Shoop thank you for the info.

You could probably do a VA cash-out refi on the San Diego property to pay them out and have cash for a downpayment at the next home too, but I'll defer to @Jon Lallande to give you a better idea on the best strategy for you to use in this situation. 

Law, as a Californian who was looking at out-of-state markets, I considered both Cleveland and Columbus, and going on the metrics (growth, job growth, median income growth), I greatly prefer Columbus.Columbus also has an extraordinary agent for out-of-state investors in @Remington Lyman.Best,Jon 

@Jon Worley welcome to the site.

That is funny Jon Klaus.

Quote from @Jon Puente: Hey Amby, This is a great question and really depends on location of real estate, but I will do my best to explain.
