It's tough because FTHB consumers aren't really qualified to know how to pick a lender (see: this and a thousand other OPs), and in the age of cynicism everyone assumes that you as the agent are getting an illegal and unethical kickback from your preferred lender so they don't want to trust that.

There are specific lending rules for seller financing to a consumer. not sure if this helps you?

Now, with tools like Zillow, consumers know exactly where the listings are and can readily find lots of formerly proprietary information.  

@Amanda Anderson establish an emergency fund equal to 3 months of your salary, payoff all consumer debt, then invest whatever is left...

@John HallPlease be aware that although mobile homes are not real property, the financing of mobile homes to owner occupants does fall under the restrictive regulations of the Dodd Frank Act and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Everything I see online says I need an engineering degree, which I can use my GI bill to pay for but it seems a little unnecessary and time consuming and I feel like I would still end up just working for someone else for a paycheck in the end.

We've been searching the consumer available MLS and realize that there's not a lot out there at the moment (that we can see) that meets our needs.  

While they pay lip service to consumer protection, this doesn’t really enter into their thinking.

At this point, though, we are getting a decent mix of bookings from direct marketing and the hosting platforms, so it is hard to justify the additional overhead.When we start adding more properties, we will definitely revisit the need for management software as our business becomes more complicated and time-consuming.
