Besides get involved in local meetup groups where you can share experiences with people who are doing the same as you and that networking could be as beneficial as the deal.Good luck!

I'm here in Charles Town and always keeping my eye out for properties.

If you want a second set of eyes when you’re in town, I’m happy to help you sanity-check areas and numbers while you’re driving them.What neighborhoods is your team pushing you toward right now and are you aiming for long term rental or midterm rental?

My goal is to transition away from active landlording toward more passive income streams.I'm eyeing building (or possibly buying and expanding) a small mobile home park from scratch—thinking 4-10 pads—where I can live in one unit (or on-site) and rent out the rest for lot rent only.

If this is a low / no money down house hack, 100% I would do it, your leveraging the banks money even if its minimal, if the location is decent and rent numbers are solid I would do it, the numbers wouldnt work for a conventional investor if you are using 20% down as they would likely have PM involved and when you consider vacancy / capx your in the negative. 

Being that there are a myriad of Cost Seg inputs and outputs - many of which are highlighted in @Michael Plaks post here and elsewhere - that benefit from your tax accountant's involvement, we always encourage investors to involve their tax pro in the Cost Seg process from the get-go.

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

I’m fairly new to the investing side of real estate and recently started getting involved in wholesaling and off-market deals.Right now, my main focus is learning how experienced investors think.

Goals:Duplex or small multifamilyBudget up to ~$480k (prefer Lower)$200–$400+ cash flowBuy & hold, long-term rentalNear hospitals/jobs, low crime, public transportation Markets I’m eyeing: Allentown, Lancaster, open to other cash-flow-friendly PA areas.Looking for: Honest insights on neighborhoods/submarkets that meet these criteria.

Given the pattern you have outlined, I would move forward with a notice to vacate and begin the eviction process without further delay.If you would like a second set of eyes, I am a Georgia Real Estate Broker and Property Manager.
