After many years into the real estate game, cash or credit may not seem the obstacle they once were, so I have to "reach back in the files" to pull out an old memory (to quote Alan Jackson "Drive")......I recall being very thrifty and a saver in my 20's (I had an insane dollar a day budget thing I did in the early 90's on canned beans, loaf a bread and raw carrots, which I would not recommend, unless you live in a mobile home on a construction site like I did at the time)...

I can provide a property report with all significant figures.Does anyone have any feedback on how they've sourced their financing for mobile home rentals?

It's a mobile home in about 1/2 acre of land in Marion, Ohio which is apparently about 30 minutes from Columbus, OH.

The deal becomes far more palatable with a larger spread.I'm not overly concerned with making a killing on this first deal (although obviously it wouldn't hurt), I really am looking at it as an opportunity to get some hands-on experience, and to enhance my ability in assessing repair costs and my knowledge of the local market.

There are other FHA requirements concerning which you should contact your local lender, but determining whether or not a triplex or fourplex meets the self-sufficiency rule is a good place to start as this rule will immediately eliminate many properties from your search.  

Hi Solomon,There is one thing I still can't figure out from your statement concerning your property manager.

For GA I believe the interest rate cannot exceed 10 points higher than the US Treasury yields for mobile homes?  

I will offer her that much in cash for her mobile home. 

:you cannot control the cleaning agents the tenants use.Shouldn't be a concern as long as you first warn them, and have a proper security deposit.
