I come up with another vehicle to fund the 25% that I would still owe grandma.

Wethink it’s important as it allows us to check for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) issues and to determine if anapplicant is living paycheck-to-paycheck.

I was used to dealing with one person for property management.

Tacking onto what @John Koster said, the POS ordinances can be tougher in certain cities than others and the tax rates in the burbs can turn a dream deal into a nightmare rather quickly.I'd find a knowledgeable agent who also invests and work with this person to learn the areas and see what fits your investing profile.

@Yesenia Martinez - yes, you should be able to cash-out refinance and use those funds to purchase another property. 

I get multiple CRM and VA calls per week on two of my parks though and I just hang up... if you can't pronounce my home town correctly I know your just cranking phone numbers.Take Frank Rolfe's MHP investing boot camp.Stick with local smaller banks for funding. 

I do think you can normally get funding in that time frame and it doesn't have to be actual cash for balance but I do think the deposit has to be cash, debit, certified check etc. 

Transfer or Rollover Funds: Move your funds from your existing retirement account into your new self-directed account3.

If you were in Seattle you could not end this lease or month/month, no options at all, and you would be stuck with this person until they are carried out.

You could set up a “deferred down payment for 12 months” or have a stepped up down payment (so much per month until number is met) It's really whatever makes sense for the two of you.Things to consider, property taxes have to be paid, repairs have to be made, vacancies have to be accounted for, insurance has to be in the name of the person on title.
