Seeing a lot of trailers for sale, what's your folks take on them
Howdy guys and gals, I'm down here in the Gainesville and Ocala areas. Anyone down here feel like filling me in on trailers as investment properties (rentals)? Not looking to buy an entire trailer park. Just curious is it even worth the money to pick up seemingly affordable trailers on 1/4 acres or to fix up for rental properties.
Seems like the most common type of blue collar housing here.
I know a little already regarding metal roofing, newer being easier to finance, etc.
Does anyone else buy these?

Yes. If you can get one for a decent price, then FSBO just the trailer to the tenant to where they pay off the trailer in 5 yrs and then just pay you lot rent...no maintenance, no upkeep, cash cow. Moo.
