I think the best bet would be to surface it to all the local investor groups here.

Best bet is to establish a heloc if you intend to borrow funds short term.

You didn't provide the numbers, but I'll bet you have a lower ROE than the interest on a a 10-year treasury note. 

Right now (Q3 2024) everything seems overbanked/overbought.Currently, my focus has been purposely broad but currently split between: A) SF business (wholesaling/rehab) I was asked to take over (on almost no notice – am still badly catching up) and B) Small balance MF and mobile/manufactured housing (<~50-100 units for physical/operational value add)I have made some progress on each but not where I would like to be although I have just recently gotten involved in the sub-institutional space again.

Figure out your “why” as to what your  cash flow problem is and I bet you will want to keep them!  

His story, if true, indicates the tenants have no respect for the property owner, his rights, or his desires.If I were a betting man, I would bet money that they are dragging their feet because their rent is well below market.

I have been considering which area of REI to begin with: multifamily homes, mobile home parks, or short-term rentals.

I'll bet you would dig thru 1000 properties if there are that many to find a decent OTC deal in Texas. 

You can do it yourself, but the best bet is usually contacting a vending machine company. 

The good thing about purchasing an RV Park / Mobile home park is that potentially, a good portion of the purchase price will be eligible for bonus depreciation.This assumption is assuming you don't own most of the mobile homes but moreso the park and lease out the land.Best of luck.
