I've been doing a lot of real estate reading lately, and this is what I would recommend (in this order... as they somewhat go from novice to advanced):Start out with Rich Dad, Poor Dad- not so much a real estate book, but it'll really get those gears turning and make you think a lot differently.The Intelligent Investor- by Benjamin Graham-  This is a very tough read, and very boring at parts and mostly centered around stocks... but the principles within this book are applicable to ANY investment vehicle.  

I've had one estimate so far and the guy said that he "exhaust motor" needs to be replaced.

From what I’m finding out, mobile home title falls into the same category as a vehicle and title can be transfer at the DMV or county record office.

Similarly to how you think about improvements to a house and the tradeoffs to rent/value creation down the road, there is a risk/reward you need to balance with the legal piece to this investment vehicle.

Just focus on that and studying your chosen vehicle and you'll do well!

depends on what vehicle you use.. if your pooling investment capital into one fund and for a common enterprise then some sort of PPM is usually required.... no licesne required to do these they just need to be done as 506 offerings.. the sponsor does not need licesne.. you need license in some cases if you are marketing the PPM for investors.. if you have the investors already then its pretty simple.. suggest you SIMPLY talk to a good securities attorney and tell them what you want to do and ask them to prep the docs... usually 10 to 40k for this 

Thanks for any suggestions, or for any other strategies/vehicles y'all recommend!

@Thomas Rutkowski, the high cash value life insurance is a pretty fascinating vehicle that most people don't explore. 

I agree with @Darren Eady, performing loans are a great vehicle to keep things clean, earn a double digit return, and have the security of real estate with far less hassle.

If you get a loan for a vehicle, only do it if necessary.
