Due to this, i am now thinking of buying my first home in another city/state while continuing my corporate career here for a few more years.The obvious issue with this is the type of financing available if its not going to be my primary residence. 

Currently, there are 7 to 8 feet of storage per person available in the U.S.

The banks could freeze your credit available and not allow you to use the credit.  

There are plenty of areas that have multi family properties available at affordable prices and good cashflow.

I sold off a large chunk of stock to show an "available cash" in my brokerage account when making all cash offers.Over the past several days the market did great and I lost out on the gains.

park owned homes are not a good thing.. they are tough to maintain the parts are not available like regular houses you may want to rethink this.. banks generally will NOT lend on the homes and don't like parks were the owner owns all the homes because of on going repairs.. also you should put this In Market place if your trolling for investors.

Being available at a moment's notice would make you very popular, I believe.Network like a Pro - You should be reaching out to every closing attorney and active investor you can find to market your services.

But you can decide to take more or less risk with those variables.If you plan to grow past a certain point it will almost certainly involve commercial financing so it's not really a question of whether to use it but more of how you use the different products available. 

I would consider having a portable unit or a window unit available.

I asked him how much he's paying, and he tells me $1,800 but rentals he looked at are asking for $2,000, but the problem was there's nothing available in town.
