I'm working on a project right now (non-residential) and we will be structuring the payments so they get 50% of the money for a particular task once its started and then the remaining when that task is 100% complete.You could specify that you'll pay a mobilization cost which is up front but it is not to exceed 10% of the total job- that way they can't really take your money and run.

Getting funding on a property that has a stick built house and a mobile home seems almost impossible.

That would indicate to me that investing is a low priority since your income level is not very high indicating you should be able to be mobile employment wise.

There are so many other options.1. follow successful people, and copy them.2. thousands of books to select from3. re clubs etc4. free advice on hundreds of websites-some good and some not I went to a meeting tonite that a very knowldegeable mobile home guy wanted to sell 2 different 3 day seminars for 5K each!

As a bird dog, I have no power to act on behalf of 'my client' in the transaction, so there is no actual agency.

I'd be concerned about the expenses listed, the age of mobiles and the mgmt.

However, a bigger fly in the ointment has emerged as I sought funding for this project:According to institutional underwriting guidelines published within the last 30 days, no lender of mobile home parks will lend:1.

Every agency and company dealing with national security does things that aren't always held completely accountable or are just not able to be 100% monitored.
