Chances are you have someone with honor transparency and integrity on your hands and that is very rare.If the answer is no... well, if he lied to the homeowner, why would you think he would not lie to you?

I can help with the refinance to pull equity out, but no the purchase, as 99% of the industry won't finance mobile homes. 

However, there is no specific holding period contained in the tax code or regulations and there is no "safe harbor." 

Well, this my opinion, if you like unpredictability, constant change and people/contractors with no regards to you or your property then "YES" flips and STRs are the way to go...LOL....I love it!!! 

With no appreciation, you will have less than 40% LTV and with modest appreciation you will have less than 30% LTV.  

The motivation is not necessarily to scale into larger opportunities but rather to achieve better balance and also optimize the performance of the projects and types of projects I currently pursue.I have no shortage of individuals who possess specific skill set who would want exclusive rights to that particular service vertical in return for contributing capital and a partnership interest (construction background and wants to take over all construction duties or someone who is a sales broker and wants to list all of the properties etc.)

If they fail to pay, then you can choose to try eviction or just hold the charges until the end of their lease and collect it from their deposit.
