I am the other side of the spectrum from "make your money on the purchase" type. 

My side is small and was previously rented on the low end of the spectrum..the other side is quite large and totes 3 garage stalls and is rented quite highly.

For the area, it's going to be towards the nicer rental end of the spectrum and I want a fairly neutral floor color/feel.

I tried to get exposure to each of these areas as I was going through school because I didn't know what I was going to need to know until after I graduated and started working (my focus ended up being mostly on the hardware side of the spectrum).When I became too out-of-date to do engineering (I went through school using a slide rule because electronic calculators hadn't been invented yet), I switched to marketing semiconductors to circuit board designers and then became a technical writer documenting how to use electronic products (I enjoyed taking things apart as a kid and figuring out how they worked).

@Josh McCants comparing FHA vs hard money are completely different ends of the spectrum.

The up side is you don't pay SS/Medicare tax, the down side is there isn't much you can write off, but then there isn't much to write off.Clearly there is an argument for everything counting as interest - I would love to hear from the spectrum of RE accountants who contribute.

yes i absolutely do feel more competent and confident in pursuing a mobile home park over any other asset class that exists in the REI spectrum and there are many.

And if you want to fast/stay rented, don't shoot for the highest rent possible, go for the medium to lower range of spectrum - vacancy is a killer of cash flow.

The majority of the time turn-key is going to cost you more; however, on the opposite end of the spectrum it's going to save you time and some heart ache.

These are the high ends of the spectrum of what I've seen and heard of, so if you run your numbers by starting here, you may find something better and you'll be golden.
