don't know why I waited so long to post but I finally decided to take action (YAY).Anyways on to my question, I too have been looking into mobile home investing....are the contracts/deals structured the same as if investing into a SFH as a rental property ?

what is needed to finalize and what to look for?

Then as I finally started looking, it seemed this was the best way for me to go.

I found the property analysis tool, but that seemed more geared towards deciding whether to buy an investment property.

The final redemption date was listed in bold letters on the deed.

It was preferred to buying it before the sale with a ton of liens attached.I've seen a few done lately with private lenders, smaller mortgage companies, mouse houses(last resort lenders), small local banks, but anyone larger or national your just going to hit the "clerk wall" and have to wait for the red tape, the company lawyers trying to justify their existence, and for them to finally offer it.Really miss the old days when you dealt with the bank executives direct, they did better for the bank, and it was still good for us.

Maybe I am wrong in my analysis though?

I don't know how many investors have gone through the stresses of all that goes into an investment property but, the escrow agent thought my analysis of it was priceless.

Now, after this, if you find a property on your own and, do the analysis on it for a buyer and, the buyer is willing to pay you the fee for it - either by putting together a contract with an assignment clause - wholesaling, - or simply giving the information to the buyer, bird-dogging - technically, the fee the buyer would pay you, would have to be routed thru the broker and the broker must get his cut.

I was attempting to use the analysis tool on this site but the hard part for me is accurately estimating my expenses.
