Sure SS and MHPs are somewhat counter cyclical, but I think their recession-proof-ness has been a bit over hyped.   

I have a bit of handy-ness to me and love working on home improvement projects, how stringent are the 203k guidelines on finding licensed contractors vs DIY?

You just happen to be on the wrong side of the one sided-ness...

My two big limitations at the moment are (1) lack of general real estate experience and (2) handy-ness (I'm not going to be installing a countertop anytime soon and contractors are hard to come by here, so buying a SFH and doing a reno myself are unlikely).

The evidence of in debt ness is evidenced by a promissory note with you as the borrower and the lender as lender.

@Brian Ness you said you were going to significantly negotiate down the price after inspections.

The Nevada thing is something i set up back in 04 from Dean Grasiosi in all his wisdom and guru-ness.

Its kind of like the lock-ness monster of real estate investing.

I used the only thing I had at my disposal and that is the stick to it ness that has got me this far and the same that will make sure of one thing if nothing else.

I love being busy, but am motivated to invest in real estate so that my busy-ness makes my pockets bigger, not an employers.
