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

Or, as my inner James Carville would say: 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝.Home prices remain inflated far beyond income growth.A small rate drop doesn’t fix $700K starter homes.Buyers are still on strike because the math ain't mathing.

This helps strike a balance between transparency and flexibility.Also, you're right to think about documentation.

Title was supposed to be clean at the striking of the gavel.

If you want 20%+ net IRRs, you are taking on more risk, and therefore more likely to strike out.  

The 30% down payment requirement doesn’t strike me as the biggest issue here.

Some investors group properties by type, location, or risk level to strike a balance between asset protection and administrative simplicity.No matter how you set things up, just make sure your records are clean and easy to follow for each property.

They don't even have to make a trip to the bank to back out, they do it reclining in a living room sofa chair, anytime the mood strikes as easy as clicking a TV remote.Second, what good are holding deposits, if there is no penalty for backing out of them.   

If you're a veteran on Strike 3 you get life in prison / treatment.lol.

I'm on Lane Kawaoka's e-mail list and I always think about striking out for something, but wondering if its worth it or if it can turn into a house of cards...
