See if you can get in touch with Mike Savage.

@Allison Keib, be "cautious" of new construction (ground up) for new homes or modulars for new investors.Ask your realtor if she had ever built ground up modular homes from beginning to the end before (entitlement, underground utilities, crane in units, rough hook up, final touch up, etc.)? 

I will get in touch with my bank asap and see what I can come up with.

I also go with the Home Depot rule, if I can find all my finishes at Home Depot it's time to update my finishing touches. 

They find and fix the deals and we sign the checks.The idea was amazing for people whose time is completely eaten up by our employers, looking for a way to create retirement with rental income.However, that is not at all what he did.In reality, he found the crappiest oldest homes ( more like death traps), that no other knowledgeable investor would touch, and upsold them to us for $20-50K more than they were worth, lied about the numbers, and charged us for repairs he never did.

I just booked a call, be in touch soon

Stan Inman himself will acknowledge, no one can touch Erie's pricing for STR policies in the PF/Gat area.

So I worked 4 jobs in that 18-month timeframe to come up with the money for a suitable downpayment (without touching my brokerage, 401k, etc).Gosh!

I had to spend time cutting some of the metal strike plate so it wouldn't touch it at all.
