(Alternatively, bill in advance for $X,XXX dollars to be spent on materials, and then provide receipt tracking for materials bought against that bill, billing additional as needed)The problem I've seen over and over again is that investors will turn contractors into unwilling lenders with none of the protection (Deeds) or benefits (Interest) afforded to a real lender.

We have sporting and cultural events that attract people year-round, while our high season (January through March/April) attracts our highest rental rates.

I live in NYC and have been looking for alternative markets to invest in.

I'm trying to get a hold of the city to see what this means for the future of the property, but here are my best/worst case scenarios: A) Best case - We are able to continue operation as a mobile home park, sell as many MHs to tenants as possible, expand into the adjacent lot, bring in good cash flow and attract a decent buyer when we are looking to sell.B) Worst case - The new zoning does not allow us to expand or build additional pads, the entire investment quickly loses value over time and we are unable to find any buyer willing to take it off our hands.

An alternative strategy would be to borrow from your plan for the down payment (subject to the limits) and then you would obtain financing and own the property.

Longstanding local businesses, clean and attractive landscape, military etc.  

if you qualify for a 3% loan, owner financing at 6% isn’t very attractive.

What i found interested me the most was Multi-Family in the 5+ unit range, the relative safety is what initially attracted me to it and as I learned more about it it became my passion.

What makes real estate attractive to me is the tax benefits as well as leverage.

At this point, you have to decide if it is worth it to you.In my case, I see value in attracting a tenant quicker and retaining that tenant.
