Are you going to a job interview in your wife beater and slippers smelling like monkybutt, because you wan to show how comfortable you are in your own skin and you can perform under stress?

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

@Beville Nicholas talk to a hard money lender and local banks, either way they’ll want you to have skin in the game so you need some sort of down payment

- How much more difficult is the permitting process to build the storage below and put the deck on the roof? 

Also, are local investors experiencing difficulties due to the massive construction boom? 

Had I known insurance was going to be so difficult, I might have went with a different strategy to get started in real estate investing.

Typically older and poorer than traditional homeowners, manufactured homeowners often face serious, unique financial difficulties that make it a bad bargain for some low-income Americans.

I want reliability, accountability, maybe some skin in the game (cost and time), and/or an annual retreat. 

It's a very hot market and you should try to study it well before jumping in...very easy to get overpriced houses which won't perform...I own 2 houses which I plan to rent to students as well...my biggest difficulty was to find competent and reasonably priced contractors...found many which are one or the other but not both...and didn't manage to complete renovation on time as my contractor (which came highly recommended) decided to stop showing up.Few things to keep in mind:1.

If this is not too difficult I would do it.
