Our plan is to buy the first home in cash, likely $550k-$650k, operate it under management for 3-6 months, then refi to pull out what we feel the property can support for a mortgage so we do not end up upside down. 

Feel free to reach out and I can send more info.  

I feel sad when I see them stressed out about money all the time.All suggestions are welcomed :)Thank you. 

You bring up syndications at an interesting time, given the many established ones that are running into issues at the moment.  

Feel free to reach out with any questions.  

@April BirdsongHome inspections almost always bring surprises, like the plumbing and attic fire remnants you've encountered.

It feels like a constant cart before the horse but I have become better at scaling over time, today own and operate 194 units mainly in the manufactured home space but we have more than a dozen single-family homes, a motel, and an apartment complex.I have myself in a CEO position but I also fill the position of sales and acquisitions.

If you need a rec for a lender that does this type of loan feel free to reach out, happy to share his info.

As @Nathan Gesner says, please feel free to ask any question of the community.

Before we purchase the property, I'd like to understand: when we pull permits for the rennovation, would we be required to demolish the front section to bring it into conformity on the setback line or does that typically get grandfathered in?
