However, two of their law cases settled and they would be able to pay 4 months upfront in addition to first and security.

Its simply like a whole separate loan and I'm using the equity in the home to secure it, kind of like using it as collateral?  

Hello, @Anthony Lee.I recommend that you reach out to Steve Bighaus of Security National Mortgage Company.  

I can't offer advice on how to secure the loan, but I would say if you don't even know what your 1.5 year plan is, I'd recommend a little more thinking about it prior to acting...

Was going through a refi on a condo and nearly right at the end I was told I could not refi due to the fact that my condo was part of a community that was a mix between apartments and condominium's and that due to the "shared" amenity areas (pool, gym, clubhouse, etc.) that I would not be able to secure a loan.  

Just today I kinda went threw that with someone who has money to buy the homes to flip ..they asked for me to locate the property to renovate & purchase ..when I got to the part of signing a contract to secure my fees ..they refused to sign .. out of the two partners , one must of had the funds to purchase ..the other one I was talking to - might have been the one that had to locate the property..but he advertized to find someone to look for the property with verbal  promise of some sort of funding for the finders fee ... when you mention contract to secure your funding ...if they won't sign then you know there may be a problem with the honesty.. 

Which is a mobile home secured on a concrete footing with the wheel base removed.

Easiest way is to do transactional financing where you secure a buyer, close deal with HUD, and then close again that day or the next with your buyer.

Does anyone have experience securing financing and building them? 

It is slow money, nothing sexy about it but it will secure a decent retirement income for your future with great peace of mind as you can easily drive by the property anytime you want.
