A couple of FRBOs said they may be interested but they said they will not deal with "an agency or company", "only if it's for me", some want to check credit and they want to know where you work or how many people will live in the house and some say no third party involved.

Every time the painter has to switch colors it involves cleaning his tools completely, swapping paint, and starting over.

As a way of helping me oversee and understand each aspect of the process, I have been hands-on with every task so far.

There are investors in every market that buy directly from sellers and do not involve a listing.

Again, not to speak for everyone or try to "start anything", but personally I'd love to get involved with homes but the ease of entry, or lack of barrier makes it much easier for the cash strapped to get involved in mobile homes.

The people that Bank of America has employed to handle this task are underqualified and dense minded, most of them seem to be recent college graduates with degrees in Anthropology.

What are the costs involved with setting it up?

Thanks to everyone for weighing in, thankfully I'm not really involved in this situation, but since I hope to own some rental properties someday, it's good to see how to handle it.I definitely agree with Jerry W. about Dave Ramsey, actually our boss offered him a free financial peace University class, but you have to be ready to make a change before any of that excellent advice works.As someone who was a renter for 8 years (I can honestly say I was a good tenant, a roof over your head comes first) it's very interesting to see the other side of the coin.

The numbers involve meet my investment criteria but for refinancing purposes down the road I want to take all of these attached townhouses and "convert" to one multifamily property so that I have 10 "units" instead of 10 single family homes.

I do not know if this is your first 100 unit that you need to be buying this just with an attorney involved and winging the rest of the process.As far as the inspector I have an engineer that travels the country and does a phase one survey, site inspection, and cost reserve stable for one price.
