Also your descriptions in other comments aren’t that great in terms of letting an agent know what you’re looking for.

I am not sure what you mean by loaning them the money...your #2 doesn't work because the warranty deed can't be executed by your own description of the issue and the quitclaim deed doesn't satisfy your need for collateral  I suppose if you have the cash, you can lend them the money and record a lien.

But it also logically follows because if home prices were under inflation rates for a long enough period then homes would become trivially priced, and if home prices were significantly above inflation rates for long enough then everyone would be homeless as nobody could afford a home.But nobody buys real estate on a macro level, we buy at a localized, micro level in our geographic area. 

There might not be an overall economic 'crash' as there was in 2007 but we will certainly see a variation in returns dependent on the asset class and geographic markets.

The home has depreciated and is most often in need of TLC, repairs, or rehab to bring it back to saleable condition.The bank may have hundreds or thousands of loans on mobile homes spread over a huge geographical area.
