Both pay the bills in an enduring manner.

Having been to many real estate seminars, I was used to receiving just enough information to get hungry for success, only to endure a pitch fest for products and services I could not afford.

Briefly studying the markets across the US, I have found this trend: Where new construction was red hot and building was promoted by the local municipality, they are enduring a more Buyers market and on the flip side, areas where there is not a lot of new construction and only really existing homes for sale - there is a sellers market. 

So simply going through the Covid 19 recession is not full real estate cycle experience either because that was just a business cycle recession without falling real-estate prices.A sponsor that has gone at least one full real estate cycle had to endure the brutal great recession, and survived.

Maybe I'm psyching myself up, but I've read about some horror stories that I wouldn't want to endure.

I think you can deal with it yourself, but it's really a matter of perseverance and pain endurance - depending on your relationship and feelings towards them.. 

Thanks for enduring the gory details above - now here are my ideas and where I need help...

Enduring success is not the result of luck, it is the result of knowledge.Seller financing can be the ultimate finance option for both the buyer and seller.

@Craig Jennings,Knowledge is key to enduring success.As a safeguard, I would recommend you first develop a history of experience in the various segments of manufactured homes.

Make sure you are able to endure long delays before you get your funds back.
