So how well is it cashflowing? Would it work better as a LTR? Why would it be too late to get out?

Why 6 months? Can you not rent it all 12 months?


 the property is in a private park the land my home is on is not owned by me it is owned by the owner of the park. I just own the mobile home and the park is open only 6 months and closed for the rest. it would not work as a LTR because of that. it cash flows good park fees are 12k for the season. property will cash flow about 30-35k as long as it is booked out solid which it has been the last 2 years I've owned it. I'm not sure if I should sell it and get out as banks don't look at it as real estate because it is a mobile home. will this effect me with buying more LTR property?


 Owning a mobile home should not affect your ability to buy a LTR from a lending perspective IMO. You are correct however, finding a lender for mobile homes can be difficult, and most traditional banks will not touch them


would this STR be worth keeping if I want my focus to be on LTR?

I currently have a STR mobile home that is bringing in good cash flow but I am thinking if its a smart investment or if I should get out of the mobile home before it could be to late. the park fee is really high but 1.5 months rent pay for it. which leaves me with 4.5 month of positive cash flow. I also have a LTR.

what's up bigger pockets, I've had an account for almost a year now but finally trying to meet new people and friends and start my real estate journey. I am located in Hamilton Ontario and currently have a STR and this year purchased a LTR. I am a single guy with lots of ideas but not exactly sure where to start.
