Congratulations, You are doing great.  Just keep at it.  Keep looking at deals, keep analyzing deals and you will will find more that work for you. We once used a credit card for short term cash, but I wouldn't advise doing that.  It worked for what we needed and we had a solid plan of what we were using it for and when we would be paying it off. It was easy and worked for us at the time. Calculated risk, always calculate the risk.  It looks like you are already great at that!

Find a good investor friendly agent. They should be able to help you get some comparable properties. They will have access to data that you probably don't have access to.  If you need help finding one let me know and I can help you with that. Good Luck!!

I am an agent in the area and would love to introduce your friend to some of my local lenders.  I know some lender who aren't necessarily hard money lenders, but do think out side the box and have options. Even if you just want more choices. I would love to connect.

I have a 1986 mobile home and I am frustrated with the lack of available parts. I would like to switch out the windows.  Knowing that nothing at Home Depot would fit.  I started shopping online and what I can find isn't what I really want. (not Low-E)  What do you do?  Do you just retrofit the home and use Home Depot windows?  Special order?  What have you done?  Looking for ideas!

I happen to think my corner of Montana is the best.  Kalispell is near Glacier National Park and we have a steady flow of people who come to visit and decide to stay.  One reason I like it here is that you can get really rural fast from here.  Kalispell has everything you need, including great healthcare facilities and yet there are out in the middle of nowhere places within an hour or two from here.  We are rural enough even in Kalispell to be able to take advantage or Rural Development loans. Come on over Cash!

You might try a credit union and just ask for a loan based on the land value.  In our area, the Credit Unions are about the only institution that will loan on mobiles.  Good Luck and hang in there, just keep trying.

The HUD tag has the vin # on it. It is a small metal plate on the exterior that often is painted over or removed, because it doesn't seem important. Replacement are available from HUD. Last I heard they were around $100.
