Take answers from out of county and out of state with a grain of salt.I can tell you for example that anyone offering advice based exclusively on property taxes in my home state of California should be completely ignored unless this property is also in CA.

@Angie Y.Sounds like a good potential deal.I live in Washington state and I used to invest in stick built houses only.Now I invest exclusively in mobile homes for pay days AND cash flow.Not sure of the year of the unit but you can get financing on any mobile 1977 and newer.I'm 65 and semi retired so in the same boat as you on retiring late.Yell if you have any questions.Bill

You're starting out so your goal is to learn, learn, learn, and that's not done exclusively with contracts and down payments (although that's the most exciting method).Best of luck!

We operate in a "niche"...We are a HUD authorized real estate brokerage that works almost exclusively with investors (both wholesalers and rehabbers) helping them acquire undervalued properties.Lately we have had a lot of interest from new investors that are excited about the market segment and can't wait to dive in, but have a potential entry level problem...

I only work with clients who are using me exclusively.

You might qualify for the tax-free exclusion of $250,000 (if single) or $500,000 (if married) if you can say that you have lived in the property for at least 24 months total out of the last 60 months. 

James,I live south of Hobe Sound, but I can tell you that it is a exclusive area.

Why should others contact you: Exclusive rep for one of the largest local private funding/ family offices in the Southeast, US that offers one of the most competitive fix and flip program in the industry.

It's also necessary to know the coverage/exclusions.
