Also, if you plan on doing rentals down the line, you could use non-conventional programs like DSCR that doesn't restrict you by DTI.

Thirdly because it could be outlawed like Oahu or so highly restricted, like Vegas, that it’s worth only what the property is worth, or less. 

Hi my name is Alyssa and I just started my STR journey, I live in California which has tons of restrictions for STRs.

Any 'investment' can act as a 'retirement'.Roth is great because it is tax freeI personally like real estate also becuase your cash flow is normally shielded by depreciation.I like real estate further because there is less complixities / restrictions when it comes to IRA such as the 5 year rule, year you have to take distributions, RMD, Unrelated Business Income Tax(UBIT).Your goal is to have the best return and the most money at the time of retirement, what is the best way to get there?

@Shabar Marshall maybe Las Vegas is different but when I list a condo/hoa for sale, I have already asked the association, if seller doesn’t already know, about parking, pets, and rental restrictions so I can answer those questions vs wasting everyone’s time.

Quote from @Byram Heights: Thanks Samuel.

Most times you are probably talking septic systems (otherwise you are in town where things are much more likely to be restrictive (zoning, ccrs, limits on how old units can be, etc)there are considerations for used mobiles that you may not think of initially- , such as for example securing insurance being difficult or near impossible in some cases if the home has been moved more than once.I'd love to hear more input from any others who have dealt in used manufactured (single and doublewides, HUD, made after 1976).

For instance Cleveland Heights & Shaker Heights are historically around 4% and above while Cleveland proper is usually 2.78% or so.   

Seems like with the increase in RV sales and the restrictions from the HOA's there would be good opportunity.

Indiana legislature needs to pass laws restricting wholesaling and the attorney general needs to investigate and prosecute all involved.
