BTR is good for long term rentals but for construction economies of scale it's pretty bad. they need to be on the higher density side of built to rent communities greater than 10 units per acre in townhome styles without garages in my opinion. it's a slow model and the entitlements take forever, BTR communities are suburban mostly which have lower rents and thus lower values.

How in the world can I find a great reviewed CPA that will help with my tax situation?

The issue with our loan would be that there is no collateral since our loan amount would be more than the land value itself if anything were to happen.

A good option might be a hard money loan for the front end at high leverage (15, 10, or at most 20% down) and then adding value and pulling out equity via a DSCR cash-out refinances qualified with AirDNA projections. 

We also make money from the "principle buydown" of the mortgage and the "increase in value" on the asset as well.  

That said, we do lending out of our SDIRA and there are some considerations about prohibited transactions and set up (checkbook control or custodian managed, for example) etc. that should be reviewed with a custodian or SDIRA expert.

I'm aiming to make a well-informed decision that not only benefits me as an investor but also contributes positively to the community and provides value to local students.

It is also completely free which I was surprised by, given the value. 

If the buyer's strategy is to hold long term, and they are getting favorable interest or payment terms, and the value supports, offering more than ask isn't necessarily a bad thing for them.

Plus some of these are on ground leases, which can create financing issues down the line.I have nothing against manufactured homes, but I think it would be beneficial if there was a comparison for short term and long term historical performance on both rents and value.
