Most MH communities here are hell-bent against letting any of their trailers move off the lot, unless the unit is condemned or is destroyed, or has been there for several years and is paid for in full and the lease hasn't been renewed. 

She just asks to see the home, and then when I get into my pre-qual questions, she has to disclose that she is not renting it for her own personal use.

So the owners either didn't have insurance or never paid off the mortgage after receiving the insurance money, I'm guessing the latter. 

I've paid 2.5K EMD for each property.

Then she went to refinance like 2 years later and it appraised for 50k less then she paid.  

Would it make more sense to purchase property to AirBnb (approximately $325.00/night) and have the $1,500.00/month mortgage or to pay off our existing house to decrease interest paid over the course of the loan? 

They will not move to the next step of qualifying your propriety for the loan, if the contractual agreement is signed that uou will pay $3k for tools that’s include access to a app that shows all pre-closures, foreclosures etc mapped geographically.

I would think if the owner has had the property for 25+ years, he could be pretty far into his mortgage if not had it entirely paid off.

I just got out of a hard money loan, where I paid 2 points, or 2 % of the loan, and 12.5% interest only, on this loan.  

The plan (so far): Pre- Q3 2019: Reach $130K in assets ($70K liquid)Q3 2019: Move from the west coast to NYC.
