I’ve worn a number of hats—commercial mortgage originations, syndication, securitization, etc and was once a CFO for an affordable housing developer using low income housing tax credits.I’ve seen the tail end of the early ‘90’s downturn and was knee deep in the most recent one.

The business I started provides narrated virtual tours for agents, and the model I'm using will, I hope, make it easy and affordable for agents to try out something a little different while also allowing me to work from anywhere, which is a big part of the goal for my wife and me.I came across the site searching for some information and advice, and it looks like there's a lot to be had here so I'm excited to make the acquaintance of the community.

Talk to folks at the Chamber of Commerce to get the scoop on the area's economic forecast and how other businesses see the future of MHPs in the area.We just had two cases of older Parks being run out of business b/c the new City Council created so many new ordinances there was no way the owners could afford to become compliant with the new rules.  

The Affordable Care Act decimated my business and in one fell swoop, I found out how quickly life could change.    

It does sound like you are getting frustrated and want to take action, but at the same time you don't want to just jump into a deal. 

I am a new member of "Bigger Pockets" here in South Florida and I'd like to offer my services as a Multi-Family & Commercial Real Estate Appraiser (State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser - FL) specializing in "restricted appraisals" (brief and at affordable prices) to buyers, sellers, brokers, agents and lenders throughout FL.

Thanks Ken for stepping in.What frustrates me is how many times the same Dodd Frank / seller financing message has to be posted to BP forums.  

I can only afford around $1,100 a month for a 1 bedroom.  

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on the most effective ways to market a service to listing agents.I'm starting up a business providing narrated virtual tours, with the goal of making them easy (since agents are pressed for time) and affordable (since they are loathe to waste marketing dollars).

If you’re in an area in United States with good affordability, meaning you can rent a house for 600 – 1500, and you can buy houses from 50,000 to 250,000, then you’re in a possible seller financing market.
