I've purchased from foreclosure auctions in Queens before, and the margins arent that wide.

That's lower end entry...there is a wide range in Denton and there are opportunities, depending on your risk tolerance to look at higher end...in Denton County we are still undergoing strong expansion and are seeing spill over of development around the top of the lake. 

based on vast landlord experience -  I believe that is the way to go.lower rent = more calls to your rental = easy to choose the best applicant from a wide variety of applicants...Use it when you you have a vacancy longer then usual...

Details vary WIDELY from state to state, so you need to understand all the specifics for the state where the property is located.In the case of an HOA auction its likely there will be one or more mortgages that are senior to the HOA. 

No foot wide holes in the kitchen floor (one place I looked at), not gutted to studs, appliances in place, etc.

1976 is the oldest lenders will finance a mobile home and it has to be a double wide.

There is a wide range, but this is probably a safe assumption. 

Many of the rehabbers turned into wholesalers and left the market wide open.

They are rabbeted in the very best tradition of foursquare work, and each of the 4 and 5-inch quartersawn trim boards has a wide single groove dadoed into its back (modern production trim boards have 2 or 3 narrow grooves, it's cheaper to do but doesn't work for trim quite as well).

To make the list, an individual agent needs to sell 50 homes/$20 million in volume, or a team needs to sell 75 homes/$30 million in volume.Im in the top 1% of agents nation wide, and one of the top agents in the DC metro area, and I do not even qualify to make the real trends list.  100 homes in a year easily makes their list.
