., what the commercial lender will look for v. residential lender), the terms that are often involved and what they mean in laymen's words, the various ways they are often structured (i.e., 75% purchase price w/ 100% construction +contingency, etc. etc.) various fee's typically charged and which are negotiable, escrow carrying costs, on and onwas hoping to find some material all ready together on this...tried doing a basic search but didn't see a whole lot.thanks

If someone calls you have to watch how you structure the deal and what you say to the Seller.

Assuming you do not need to list this on the MLS is there a way I can structure the deal so the bank approves it and my agent gets paid?

@Eladio Perez, Since the seller owns it free and clear, your best bet is to ask for owner financing and you can try to structure the deal so that you wont have to make any payments to him until the repairs are completed within reasonable time of course.

If one is only operating/short term trading in RE like flipping or wholesaling, an LLC may not be the best entity structure at all.  

The thing is about these older manufactured homes is that the structure itself is not worth much, and it depreciates rapidly to be worth even less. 

@Tim Wilkinson, I am mostly look on MLS for multi-families that are structurally sound, but need cosmetic updating, or the opportunity to add a bedroom.  

Ok,Im a home health Physical therapist and have the opportunity to cruise through many neighborhoods a day and think i have found a home that may benefit a whole sale specialist.

Any suggestions on how to best structure it?

I am no expert, but the one thing I have learned is to be careful with structural problems.
