Payments that you make normally fall into one of 3 buckets100% of the payment can be factored in somewhere on the returnPartial payment can be factored somewhere on the return0% of the payment can be factored in somewhere on the returnHouse-hacking also has considerable tax implications in the event that you want to sell this property.You can potentially defer a portion or all of the gain on the investment property with 1031 exclusion.You can potentially exclude a portion or all of the gain on the personal residence with section 121 exclusion

yes, we have had similar situations and have not had any issues (SE MI) in gaining possession of property where the lease was properly terminated. 

But i think in reality if paying $1000 helps this tenant out and it is small amount for large gain, you can try it.  

She postponed getting the floors redone and I postponed investing until early next year, but she agreed to the cash out refinance.This phase also includes gaining knowledge and increasing your credit score.  

All that makes the property less desirable for a buyer buying your property when you eventually sell off.Developers typically have maybe a 9 cap or so in it and sell for a 6 cap and lose maybe 100 basis points to real estate commissions, short term capital gains, etc. so might profit 200 basis points.

There are a handful of things that will make an on-market wholesale difficult, including (but not limited to):- the fact that any sellers agent worth their salt won’t allow your “and/or assigns” language- you need to provide proof of funds with your offer to get the initial offer accepted - your timeframe between accepted offer and when your second deposit will be due is very short and gaining access to the property can be difficult

I refinanced last year and was wondering if that will affect the capital gains if I sell this year and qualify for Section 121.

I rather unbelievably had someone tell me to do it myself after I gain access and control of the property.  

My question is: if the number look good-  is it worthwhile to pursue this and look at it more as a standard multi family investment to gain experience into the MHP Asset class, or to simply stay away from park owned units? 

There was obviously some luck involved but a recent appraisal showed I gained $300k in value over the past 4 years.
