Challenges and Opportunities Unique to IndianapolisSeasonality: Tenant interest tends to slow in winter, so try to avoid vacancies during those months.Diverse Neighborhoods: Indianapolis has varied sub-markets.

Trustworthy property managers can make or break a portfolio, and I’ve found that vetting them carefully—checking their reviews, local reputation, and how they handle tenant retention—is crucial.

Hard to produce cash flow or break even with that much debt, at that rate.House-hackers, however enjoy certain one time (non-scalable) advantages that should be taken advantage of in the early days: - They can assume pre-existing debt like VA and FHA Loans (rather than take it on Subject-To which is dramatically riskier).- They can rent by the room and self-manage to produce day 1 cash flow.- Many of these HCOL areas also have strict limitations on AirBnB or short-term rentals... that do not apply to owner-occupants - thus allowing for extreme cashflow potential for house-hackers.

Does anyone have a map breaking down the Phoenix market area ?

To be clear my goal isn't to have a bunch of cash flow Y1 but just looking to break even.2) How could I go about finding markets where MHP are more beginning investor friendly?

It was free so worse came to worse I would break even How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I see big price range with these (from $200 to over $4k) and wanted to know if you can get a decent one without breaking the bank.

Even if a property cash flows $500 per month usually this cash flow will be eaten up (when a tenant moves out, when something breaks, etc. )And I am asking other people for their experience, if they feel the same wayOK. 

I am looking at different loan options but to break even (not having to put any money of my own in the house after the initial down payment) the current down payment required is that much. 

Its no surprise that also took them a week to go and turn it off.I had 2 perspective tenants waiting for over a month with their national background check only to find out there were alternatives we could use to get a report in minutes but they refused to not use that company.Finally I get a tenant after 3 months on the market who is someone who was fully approved by the rent amount was 200 dollars less than market value a month so I agreed because it was just before winter when its harder to get someone in.
