If you're considering mobile homes, the first step is checking zoning laws and utility access since some areas have restrictions.For resources, Mobile Home University is a well-known starting point, and local mobile home dealers can offer insights on placement and financing.If mobile homes are allowed, you could either rent them yourself for higher returns but more management or rent out the lots for steady cash flow with less work.

@Jason Brown - I'm a CT based investor, flipper, and property management company owner.  

What is killing me is after factoring in property taxes of about $9000 for the year and 10% of the rents $6.720 for property management as well as insurance factored at another $2400.

@Tyler Garza With my CFO clients, I generally use 8% vacancy and 25%-35% operating expenses depending on if they are self-managing or using a PMC.

My property manager says there was no indication that the tenants are at fault.
