Sometimes you’ll get lucky and they will give you a tour of the property- this lets you see their work product first hand.

They make great product now that can handle water without warping.

Their product that was built, designed with the end buyer being the homeowner, will have nicer fixtures, and amenities thus making landlords that have mid-grade homes compete for a lower pool of residents.

There isn't an "IRA-like" product that would let you do that.. 

To my knowledge, I don't know of a loan product that is low money down like FHA for new builds.

Sure you'd have to split commission with the buyer's agent and your broker, but you'd essentially be getting paid to sell your own home. 

Sit down with a local lender, open a checking and savings account if necessary, and see what loan products they can offer.

I see they have a 30 year fixed product and they seem to be sponsored by BP. 

I am a very skeptical person and dont want to get scammed into pay 10xs more for a product.

Demand was essentially unchanged among other types of homes.
