Seller financing eliminates lender friction around POH titles and DSCR and allows buyer to control the asset with limited equity.
Investment Thesis (Why This Works)
- Infill + grandfathered MH zoning = non-replicable asset
- $1,000 rents are still below nearby apartment alternatives
- Small rent drift ($100–$150) materially improves DSCR and refi math
- Seller paper buys time for rent growth and title clean-up (partial or full)
- Multiple realistic exits:partial refi + extension, portfolio lender, or sale
This is a time-arbitrage and control deal, not a yield chase.
