@La Nae Duchesneau, It's very inspiring to hear that such an investment could break even within a year. What would you recommend, as far as getting more knowledgeable in this type of investing?... I've seen some online courses and mentor type programs, but not sure if it's worth the money.

@Austin, Nice to hear from a fellow New Yorker! I moved down from NYC in 1995. What you have mentioned, confirmed my concerns about venturing into such a niche. Never the less, it does sound like such an amazing opportunity. I’m at the ground level right now, so I am simply getting to know the pros and cons on various niches. Thank you for the feedback.

@ Craig, The whole idea of missing out on such an opportunity would be a shame. As I mentioned to Austin, I have mixed thoughts about taking such a leap. Must admit though, that I feel like a kid trying to rationalize wanting to do something (even if it carries certain risk). If there is any way to make such a niche work, I may consider it. I think that hurricane insurance is definitely worth looking into. I will also pose this question individually to some of the members who specialize in mobile home investing. Thank you.

Post: How should I market myself via business cards when starting out

I have heard that networking and handing out business cards is key for a real estate investor. I can't help but wonder, what exactly do you show on your business card? as a newbie, there's a good chance that you have never done any type of real estate investing. So in all honesty, I would not call myself an investor on my card. It would also seem a little silly to call myself a Investor Trainee or Apprentice. I would like to give an honest and professional image from the moment I hand a business card. If anyone can help out on this, I am open to suggestions.

I am currently learning about the different niches that are available in real estate. Mobile home investing caught my interest, but I live in Florida (the hurricane Mecca of the world!) I realize that people will live in a mobile home, regardless of location. I just wonder how safe of an investment it would be to get into. Especially when starting out.
