A duplex is more flexible as you will have privacy on your side and can test out any strategy with the other unit ( LTR, MTR, STR, rent by the room).

I can say there are specific custodians we like to work with who are streamlined and smooth process and some who make the process a lot more labor intensive, and have had two investors using the same custodian and have one tell us we need to complete this form and the same custodian tell their other client that its a different form.

So just kindof testing the waters and getting peoples thoughts.

Although I find competition for what I call investment grade parks is quite keen.. so returns are more in the MF space.. when you venture out east from the west coast or look at low end parks returns are higher but management is quite intense.. as our dealing with some pretty scruffy tenant base.

Feel free to message me and I can send you my tried and tested list. 

Great people, intuitive platform, get their K1s out on time and returns have met expectations...one of the reasons I am invested in two funds at this point as the first investment was really to test the waters and validate I was a good fit.  

They're generally more stable and less management-intensive while you learn the ropes.

The course is long and test is difficult so make sure you are committed.

Attitude and professionalism are paramount; product knowledge next, and then there's your contact/follow-up systems.Put that together, price-test against the market, and you'll have a sustainable, constantly expanding, and very profitable venture.Good luck!
