I would certainly figure out all of those specifics first, but right now I'm just trying to find a good place to start to determine the ARV.

Specifically, for me as an investor, if I were NOT licensed there are some smaller multis (2-3 units, the most common type we've got) that have exemptions for protected classes in certain cases, but as an agent you waive all exemptions.Obviously this isn't a big concern, but I've seen it trip people up and it's a hassle if you forget.Good luck!

I am working on getting quotes from GC's but is there something I should specifically be looking for them to do?

I would not double close if you’re dead broke as that will eat into margins.

Due to this I have been looking down South, specifically Florida, Atlanta, and Texas.

What are your best techniques to decide on specific areas to purchase houses to rehab?

It's also pretty ineffective.Why are you so terrified of committing to a listing agent who is hired specifically to 1) market your house, 2) get you the highest price possible for your house, and 3) represent your best interests?

I don't have the specific case law for each state - and am not aware of any case law where non-conforming usage has been struck down.There are a lot of threads on the Mobile Home University website where different people have tested this in different states that may help. 

Any specific zip codes?

Any thing we tell you, other than it’s not a good idea, would be speculation.....we don’t know the specifics of your situation and if we did, same advice...talk to a attorney.
