Quote from @Karter Ringstaff: Looking for information on the easiest way to get approval from hard money lender if you’re an first time investor  Hi Karter, I am a local agent and investor in the Grand Rapids area.

Once you start talking to people who work in the industry locally, you'll get a sense of the values of the mobile homes in your area.

To get suggestions, you may use online search engines, contact friends and family for recommendations, or get in touch with regional real estate investment networks.Go to seminars, networking events, and gatherings for local real estate investors.

So many nuances from property taxes, insurances, what does airdna or rabbit say, cost of internet, HOA, permit costs, local utilities, are you doing maintenance or is someone else.... 

We have little knowledge about the area and hope to get some advise from your local pros/investors regarding the cap rate, vacancy rate and NOI for such property in a C to C+ neighborhood. 

Hi- Currently living on the West Coast, I'm looking for a local cohost for my STR in Tampa/ St Peterburg area.

Maybe there’s a local code that requires connection to the tailpipe.We have a local code that requires an air-gap for the dishwasher where most other places don’t.

I’m out of state, and would prefer a local agent especially for leasing.

I went on my local county clerk's website to find it and all I found was the foreclosure list.

If you have a pure private lender that is local or one that operates as a real PML or private money lender you will and can avoid these pesky credit min scores, credit history, or other requirements that the institionalized HML/PML sources require you to have.The rate/points may be higher but such is life.
