I hear fairly regularly that groups/people running bigger deals run into issues, because they seemingly lose focus on the operations.  

It's a little 1/1 420sqft, but this thing is occupied 90%+ of the time and regularly generates 3k+ per/mo cash flow.

@Jason Torres If you're going to be buying and selling mobile homes on a regular basis, you may just want to get licensed yourself.

The night before it was to be laid I had a feeling I needed to stop by the property for a routine check.

I still get all the same contingencies I would get for a regular SFH purchase.

It was long enough a time period to get the business established and see if the model paid enough to cover a regular mortgage (it does).

How is the process of buying a property under these circumstances different than just purchasing a regular property?

I will say the "Crappy areas" often yield good cash flow, but you work your butt off, and have regular problems.

Since they are the one's who'll ultimately decide how far your real estate empire goes, it's a good idea to make sure you've got someone you regularly talk to there, and knows what you're trying to accomplish.  

Very simple monthly appreciation and increase in rents based on 3% for inflation and for appreciation (I know this isn't realistic, but it made the calc easier)So, for example, the SD Regular IRA would be able to purchase $600,000.00 propertybecause it has the full 300k to work with, but must use 240k for a down payment and keepthe other 60k in reserve.
