@Stephanie Ro To be honest I would either have to say a seller who did not have enough faith that the FHA loan would close on time or at all might be one reason. The other reason would be to collect a quick first, last & security and not give a you know what about the outcome. I have seen a lot of bad situations and although I cannot speak for the seller I can offer what I seen in the past. Either way its a pretty crappy move by the seller if they are under contract.

yea but every property I’ve closed on the security and last would transfer to the new buyer at closing, would it not? 

Maybe the seller wasn’t aware of your intentions to live in half? Next time make it known and in the contract you want one unit empty.

In my opinion its all about COC return. Why not own 5 units if they can produce the same return as 10 units? My concern when buying is COC returns and forced appreciation. I don't care if that is with 14 units or 50 units.

Definitely worth the money. Where I live the home has to have a passed sewer inspection done by the sewer authority within the last 5 years of the sale. 

If you say something long enough its bound to happen.

I personally wouldn’t. Typically mobile homes depreciate in value which is a big factor in building wealth.

I don’t even do one year leases much less a two year. Especially the way things are right now.

Is this property one you’ll live in or rent out?

Be cautious. Laundromats don't require much time to operate so if one is for sale there may be a reason. Be sure to investigate thoroughly. Id recommend learning how to do basic repairs or the costs of having a repair man come out for every little thing will eat your profit.
