That's definately understandable. Better to have a low maintenance, smoothly run park with lower returns than a high maintenance park even though it has higher returns.

@Frank Rolfe

Wow, I had no idea! Clearly I need to learn the ins and outs of the due dilligence phase before pulling the trigger on a MHP.

@Mike Ost really? I had no idea that York was a good market.

That's my next thing I need to do -run the numbers every day.

That would be amazing! Although I feel I do need to learn more.

I've been reading a couple articles and listening to about 6-8 hours of podcasts every day so I'm building up my education as much as I can!

@Nicolas Nuvan I have thought about house hacking with a 4 plex. I'm still not 100% set on it though.

@Zachary Coombs no I haven't called a realtor reguarding helping me with investing in rentals yet. I'm definately trying not to get caught up in the analysis paralysis as it can eat up years of potential. I really appreciate all your words of wisdom! I'm definately leaning towards multifamily but I'm not sure if I should go in with other investors on a big one or just stick with small multifamily to start.

Thank you!

So here's my situation. I am 18 years old working 2nd shift welding products for the Navy. I can save about $3,500-$4,500 per month depending on overtime. I just got my first credit card to start building up a credit score. I've been listening to podcasts and reading constantly on bigger pockets plus trying to analyze a deal per day (which I'm having trouble with). I'm also the "unofficial" aquisitions manager for a team of 2 investors that do flips.

I want to have rental property and I'm in between investing where I live (York, PA) or going OOS to NC (around Fayetteville or Durham). A part of me wants to go in with other investors on a bigger multifamily or a MHP, but another part of me says to start out with a smaller multifamily and go from there. I also want the properties to be more passive so I'll need a PM.

I need my rentals to make enough cashflow so I can quit my job so I can build other businesses (if you want to know what businesses I want to build, just ask me but I'll keep this post about RE only). I feel like the Lord has led me to RE so I can be free to do what He wants for my life without worrying about money. I just need some guidance.

*If you got this far, you're very appreciated even if you don't comment!

@Zachary Coombs I'm trying to analyze deals but I'm having some trouble. I think it's because not everything is laid out in the property description.

@Zachary Coombs honestly I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. I'm in between big or small multifamily and I'm considering MHPs too. I don't have a realtor just yet because I need to set my criteria so they get the most out of their time instead of leading me blindly because I don't know what I even want yet. I did register but I'm going to have to watch the replay because I work full time 2nd shift.

@Frank Chin much appreciated! I'll check that thread out for sure!

@Mike Ost gotcha, thank you for your insight. If there's any changes with student rentals reguarding anything, please keep me in mind!
