Several of my investor clients have dealt with similar situations in North Carolina, and here’s my take based on those experiences.First, you’re right about the legal framework: NC landlords must make reasonable efforts to re-rent the property, but tenants remain liable for the rent until a new tenant is found.

Also, James Dainard just came out with a new flipping book, The House Flipping Framework.

Even if you have a good framework, it's much harder to manage virtually and stay on track.

Now he has one under his belt he can go out and use that framework to do the next one and the next. 

This creates a reliable framework for managing these units while aligning incentives with municipalities and other funding sources.We’ve already implemented financial literacy programs, workforce training, and community-building activities to address the underlying challenges that tenants face.

Being new to the area, I am not sure which are the wisest areas to pursue, so I welcome thoughts on the best areas to invest, or more broadly frameworks about how to think about a good deal.I am also interested in advice on the basics of setting up an ideal REI business practice.

@Josh Caldwell runs it and is developing a ton of subgroups so it is possible that if enough people from your area are interested you could work that into something within the framework of REIA.

Works wonders and you can easily install it in the current framework.

To the best of my knowledge (if I'm wrong here please correct me, someone), since the HUD manufactured home framework came out in the late 70s, multi unit manufactured homes have never been financeable with fannie/freddie/fha money, meaning no one ever made them, and probably no city ever allowed these types of modifications because they would create potential blights, meaning there's about a zero percent chance that any of the stuff making that thing a multi-unit has permits, is remotely close to being up to code, etc.
