.- Increasing Demand Across Age Cohorts: Boomers downsizing coupled with a growing number of Americans who can no longer afford to rent or own traditional housing continues to drive demand for MHC - see chart below.- Limited Supply: Only 10 new MHC sites have been approved in the U.S. over the last two decades - see chart below.- Downcycle Outperformance: MHC is the least sensitive property type to negative changes in GDP - the average stay in in MHC is 13 years, unheard of in residential real estate - resulting in stable predicatble cash flow with an ability to consistently, yet responsible increase rents.Lastly, a quick glance at some MHC investors and proponents:Warren Buffett is a significant investor in the MHC space, favoring the sector for its stable, predictable cash flow.

I plan to attract investors with thorough and precise analysis of great deals and am currently looking for partners I can share these deals with.

Here is a chart that you can build in an excel spreadsheet and enter the information to each of these data points for any city that you want to explore. 

For a large project, I will ask for a detailed gantt chart. 

I will be short and precise here.so as a new or aspiring REInvestor1. should i live in my first house and pay mortgage say for a year and refinance after that and get my second property and rent it out?

Thanks for the Chart.  

You can run your numbers and also use biggerpockets rental calculator for more precise calculations.

It is about $250 to do - and you can pick the color from just about any national brand color chart. 

And in the interest of experiential value and soliciting financial partners, a couple cash flowing properties and a couple of local flips looks better than a bunch of analysis charts and inaction.

Not really, I think one should have the freedom to pursue what you want without such constraints, but to ignore reality is a bad strategy in general and much worse than 'rent control' could come down the pipe. i was reminded of this recently when looking @ a property in Berkeley, CA and being told that in that great city you are less the "owner" of your building and more the "caretaker" while the city gets to decide precisely what you're allowed to do with it (by the way - capped rent increase in Berkeley is 2/3 of regional CPI, and if you don't follow a HUGE checklist you can't raise rents at all!).
