@Adrian EasterlingI don't hold any secrets, not my style.

Are you considering any other forms of real estate investing, such as private lending, mortgage notes/trust deeds?

me personally I would never buy a park on private sewer and water.. again personally I would not do this. too much risk.

Most probably want 70% if its your first property but I think if you find a good enough deal and the right private money connection you can make 80% work.

Is it likely personal/private money? 

And with all this talk lately about equity and private lending, I’ve been taking steps to get a HELOC set up.

Just buy as a private spouse, not an agent, in exchange for a corresponding price discount for the commission you would have received. 

Your options are different if you buy it in your own name vs. an LLC.I like credit unions, because they are member owned (in comparison to private or publicly owned) and often have lower fees.

No commercial lender and virtually no private lenders will loan you money, because of the absence of title insurance.

I see a lot of private lenders have 1 year loan terms.
