This seasonal slowdown is typically predictable and manageable.But at the end of 2024, we saw that increase jump to over 10 days, pushing average DOM from 25-30 to over 40.

You may have an advantage since there is very low deal volume in your area, and may have multiple bidders.Good luckGino

Being fairly new to land lording I felt the need to gather a bit more insight from other seasoned professional with how to proceed, but you're absolutely right. 

As you grow your portfolio, keep an eye out for lenders who offer low down payment options for investors or those that allow leveraging the equity from your existing properties to fund new ones. 

By targeting better locations, leveraging Section 8 for consistent cash flow, and balancing low acquisition costs with high guaranteed rents, you've achieved impressive results like $1,100 in net cash flow on a single property.

Rents have been pretty close to what the housing authorities advertise, sometimes even a bit higher.Fort Wayne’s a solid spot with low taxes and good cash flow—definitely worth looking into.

Prices are low and they hit the bottom during the real estate crash.

Assuming a 40% expense ratio, the net operating income at the current income level would be around $19,440 annually and $28,800 after renovations.At a $360,000 asking price, the cap rate based on current NOI would be 5.4%, which is low for a park with park-owned homes and required renovations.

I just bought it in the fall and am trying to complete a bunch of modifications during off-season (e.g. metal roof, certain safety features, treating the deck, possibly updating the fire pit area, etc). 

I don't know how that business could survive long-term with such low rates.If those numbers are accurate and you can net $38,000 a year, then it's worth holding onto.
