I'd also feel more than comfortable looking at the KC area as well.

Who is doing the design work and making the rehab decisions?

I think that is what we are really looking for.We bought our other rental properties in areas we were familiar with, and knew the realtors, property managers, and contractors, so we felt comfortable with them.  

I have some, but would rather own buildings designed and built as multifamily.

They have had some advanced training to get that designation.  

Assuming your 190K on the house is correct and my lot rent calculation was right you should be looking to offer closer to 7 lots x $400 rent x 12 months x .5 (net of expenses) x 10 = $168,000 Park value + $190,000 for the house is $358,000.It's not far off the asking price, but you need to be very comfortable with the house value and your plan for it.  

Run it for a few months, then have the tech swap the connections back to the old furnace and remove the new one.There is also a type of furnace called a "packaged unit", that is designed to live outdoors. 

The bank will happily entertain your application for new terms - - you are an existing asset on their books and what they want is to update the rate.FORGET prepayment, the penalty is designed to discourage you from that - - clearly.Start your refi 6 months before  the note comes due and by all means, go back to the same back where you settled the first time. 

You would think that would make a lender feel more comfortable but it doesn't. 

On the other hand, I know a lot of REIA's out there are designed to make money to the point I even listened to a podcast (not BP podcast) where the guest was indicating he 'owned' a REIA.I guess my short answer is it depends on the specific group.
