Investors will be investing in you and your ability equally as much as in the specific property.  

Illegal Lease Options - No rent credits, no maintenance paid by tenants, reasonable rent, reasonable sales price (I like "sales price will be equal to new appraisal at time of sale.")

You will find financing MOD's much more friendly over HUD homes due to appraisals and comps unless you're in a predominantly HUD MH environment i.e. an area where HUD MH's exist equal to or more than traditional site (stick) built homes.That stated, however, there's very little if any difference in the way they are built.

There are plenty of investors that like that.Boring does not equal high cap rates.How'd I do @Bob Bowling?
