Property management companies only make a living by knowing what to look for in potential renters. The chances of getting bad renters using a property mgmt. company are much lower than if you were doing it yourself. You can never be 100% sure, but it isn't something you should worry about as long as you trust the management you choose.

You will need to check the existing well and septic system.
The time for remediation needed to either is during site
preparation before you start to build.
Pay particular attention to the septic system. Some have a limited
service life, and you don't want to build on one that won't last too long.
If your house is larger than the pre-existing one you might have to expand the septic system.
Check the zoning for clearances from lot lines, any limits on
structure size, etc.
Check the plot plan for any utility rights of way.
You can probably help with financing with a 'bridge loan'
secured by the value of the property until you have a
structure that can be mortgaged.
Once you've got approved plans, find a good General Contractor
(by his reputation in the area. Ask around and check with the people
he has built for.). The G.C. can make or break a project.
You will have to trust him to handle the 'Sub Contractors. (They live
on repeat business.- He's got leverage, you don't.

You don't have to wait….Contact your county assessor Monday and request an updated appraisal. Believe me a lot of people are doing it. It's free and, most importantly, your property taxes will reflect the true appraised valuation of your property.

This can in fact happen and often does. And I'm not sure if it's only for those who are not Mexican citizens. I do believe it can be any property. If it is left empty for awhile, that is when you will return to find that you no longer own it and someone else lives there. This happened to my father in law. He lives in Los Angeles but has properties in Mexico as well. He just has to make sure that someone is visiting them every so often or they will consider them abandoned and sell them.

It probably also depends on where exactly you are planning to purchase. If you are buying into some resort type property you might not have the same issues as you would right in the heart of Mexico, that's where they tend to make their own rules.

Please don't go to people in here spamming for business.

It sounds like there may not be a permanent foundation under the MH. Some will lend on a post foundation though.

Try US Funding group, if there is a branch in your area.

First thing is to search tax records of the property which usually starts at when the house was built,type,footage,taxes per year,add ones,etc. then move on to your library.
