I think you answered your own question, some sort of seller finance would be how I would proceed. If you take the project subject to, you would want to fix and flip or refi it after the first six months. I don't think subject to would be the bes bet for long term financing.

Just spit-balling here, but you could create a side business where you work with investors to create commercials/videos for their businesses. Online marketing is becoming more important in this industry and video really helps. Aside from that you could get hired on with a property management company or become a Realtor, both would be very helpful for someone looking to invest in apartments. Good luck!

Hello,
I got a lead on a mobile home through my website. It is not in my area and I do not work with this product. If you have any interest please reach out to me. The seller is motivated and I am sure there is a way to make money on it.
It is located in the Friendly Village Modesto Carefree Mobile Home Park (2621 Prescott Rd. Modesto, CA 95350)
2 bed2 bath
1,440 sqft Good condition Asking $15,000
Owner says that the park has a rule that the home needs to be owner occupied, so this would be a wholesale to an end buyer or something like that.

Glad it's working out for you. I know that @J. Martin has some experience with Airbnb, maybe he would like to chime in.

@Tammy Vitale I just sent you a PM.
@Shaniqua Dupree thanks for the insight on the area. Yes, I agree, working with an experienced flipper the first time out is the way to go. Keep me posted on potential leads. I am looking for single family homes at or below the median price for the area.

Hello,
I'd suggest finding something online. Read through a few and pick out the parts that are important to you. Make sure you have something about late fees for non-payment of rent. And that if rent is not paid by a certain number of days after the first you will serve them with a notice to pay or quite.

Hello BP,
I am an active fix and flip investor in the SF Bay Area. I have good friend in Hanover, Maryland who has some investing experience. We are considering taking on flip projects in Maryland: Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, Howard County, Prince George's County. If you are active in any of these markets let me know, I would love to connect and get a better prospective on what's happening locally. Thank you.
