I am striking out finding a lender in NC who will refinance manufactured homes that are investment properties. 

I can do DSCR on manufactured.

You will likely need your own system to capture the rental information along with costs that you pay for separately(Utilities, bank fees, interest, taxes, insurance, etc)If you have one property, I would prolly just use excel, especially if you have a PM company managing the property.

Ensure all home appliances (e.g. dryer, washing machine) are properly plugged in, hooked up, and used according to manufacturer instructions.g.

Yes I am going through the same thing, maybe they are making updates to the system? 

Love this setup — totally agree that solid systems are what make the business actually scalable.

Plus, the new systems flag activity during time periods so you don't have to look through all 24 hours to find movement.

At this point, you’re basically investing remotely either way, so you might as well choose a market where numbers are stronger and property management is already built out.Some out-of-state markets that are beginner-friendly with solid rent-to-price ratios:Akron & Canton, OH – Affordable entry points, consistent rental demand, strong cash flow.Columbus, GA – Stable military/manufacturing economy, good PM availability, lots of rent-ready inventory.Huntsville, AL – Job growth + appreciation play, still landlord-friendly.Birmingham, AL – Cash flow focus with reliable PM options for out-of-state owners.Since you already have access to the $60K HELOC, consider using it strictly for down payments rather than renovations.

My background is in technical consulting, where I built and automated systems for large manufacturing companies.I’d like to connect with other investors, agents, and wholesalers who are:Actively buying or selling through wholesale channelsLooking for ways to speed up or simplify deal analysisOpen to sharing insights on how they manage the volume of leads coming inIf you buy from wholesalers or manage lists yourself, I’d love to connect and exchange ideas.

any one else I hate getting PM"s then I cant respond as it leaves an impression I am being rude to the person that sent it.. anyone else have issues ?
