Don't overcomplicate seller financing.In a conversation with my Mobiel Home Mover, I told him I got another Manufactured Home Community under contract with seller financing and 0% down.

On the other hand, hiring a GC provides a one-stop shop with streamlined communication, experience, and expertise.

Then trying to streamline it all, I applied the name to REI as well.

You know you're a real estate investor when...You have to fill out IRS forms that you never had to look at in the pastYou update your LinkedIn profile to add "Real Estate Investor" to your current titleYou add more people to your LinkedIn contacts related to REI than those related to your regular job.You start learning and using Freelancer.com, ODesk, and other outsourcing websites to help streamline your REIYou share more financial details with Biggerpockets people that you never met in person than you share with your spouse

We just finished buying our 5th house (the movers were here yesterday) .

As these adventurous first movers came over, others from their income level began to follow.

You still have time to contact the homeowner, but they would have to want to sell and if they did you would have to move really fast.  

But that being said here's one way you could strategically use a 1031 exchange and get you moved tax free.Sell you rental property with the 100K gain and use the 1031 exchange to buy another rental property in the market where you want to move.  

You'll realize as time goes by that you'll develop ways to streamline the process and minimize your involvement.

There you can meet entrepreneurs and some of the movers and shakers of the community.
