Have you considered looking at mobile homes?

My short answers to your initial question are:- Use a mobile notary service- Have your wife give you Power of Attorney to sign on her behalfGood luck with your plan.

On the 22nd of last month I got a call from one of our ads in the Wheeler Dealer that says, "we buy mobile homes 1990 or newer-any condition-CASH."

I recently had damage caused by Hurricane Issac on one of my mobile homes and had Foremost Insurance come out to assess the damage and file a claim.I was very disappointed to find out I have "loop hole" clauses in my policy that have basically reduced my claim to nearly zero.For instance there is a clause;"damage must be caused by storm induced openings" I've had water leakage into several spots in my mobile home and the adjuster said he could not see any "storm induced openings" that caused the damage.Another one is:"not responsibe for wind blown rain" damageNow how many of you think hurricanes can cause "wind blown rain" damage.

Perhaps they get burnt out on owning apts so move on into another area like office buildings, shopping centers, mobile home parks, hotels/motels, etc.

If I were to buy in Texas again, I would go for a mobile home park.

You can get started investing in mobile homes for about one-fifth of what it would take to get started with SFRs.

I did however freshen up my skills doing various projects which included a deck, new bathroom, and various odds and ends to spice it up to a modern home.

I see you are a mobile home investor.

I have that same agent list for almost every state- not some of the new England area- too far for me to go... and we are only looking for mobile home parks.
