Like Bruce said I'd rent month-month and find the right place once you get over here.Ideally some kind of plex would be a great fit whether it's a duplex, triplex or quadplex that way you have your own living corridors and don't have to fight the roommate battles.Best of luck on the journey!  

Don't let it stop you, but get ready to really fight.

I preferred to have my tax-fighting on auto-pilot and knew it was a good thing when I got a bill for winning a case.

Be ready for a fight, even though their clearly in the wrong.

Probably they were not worth fighting for....like $5000 on a 1978 single wide. 

You can fight them.

Tourism areas don't want to see Manufactured Homes and will actively fight you.

Seems like a lot of folks on BP are trigger-happy on evictions, which can make it harder for your tenant to move out without a fight (left with no other options). 

When you have the appraisal done, they will estimate the rental income value and you can fight it with comps if you feel it’s too low.

That said, if there is someone here who has had this exact scenario and it did not go favorably then I would defer to their experience as a more likely scenario, but even then I would still fight it. 2) I certainly would not have given a full refund.
