Generally speaking, duplexes are going to be easier to manage, have the benefit of economy of scale and often return a bit more than SFHs.

Hello, I have been in contact with a loan originator regarding a property that I am interested in that has a manufactured home on it.

I don't think it's ever a necessity to match brands (except for the faux stainless, because it looks different from one manufacturer to the next) - just match the colors wherever possible.

If the tenant is interested then you can look over their paperwork and determine what their pay scale is.I do not use HUD on all of my units.

My dh and I are trying to buy a manufactured home and need help!

It would be harder if you did something and it went wrong, because people will suit everyone, even manufacturers of parts and products and the court will decide who should go and who should stay and argue.Joe

Since the United States is rapidly losing its manufacturing base and has an economy based on consumer spending that is increasingly borrowed money, the true value of the dollar is MUCH LOWER.

You'll not only know how to work thus deal but now have a niche that can be repeated, maybe scaled.

I've self funded my deals so far but I'm getting to a point where bringing on investors will help scale my operation.

The underwriting guidelines will depend on various factors including the type of property, dollar value, market, purchaser, etc.The big banks will typically only offer non-recourse loans for large scale projects such as building condo complexes, malls, hotels and the like.Some local or regional banks will be willing to offer non-recourse loans on personally held investment properties, but they are few and far between.
