My only advice to tag onto that is find properties in peripheral neighborhoods and buy at least 4 homes on the street.

I know the Cincy market only from the peripheral... 

@Henry Tse, I'd say generally to focus on the peripheral sides of Austin - East or South.

Most ask for $50k and for return investors even less.4) Also need to educate yourself regarding any peripheral needs of an investor.

I was really hoping to try mobile home investing this summer but now I don't know what to do :cry: While I have been in the real estte business both as an attorney and a principal for 40 years, and have been peripherally involved in a couple of gated communities, I have never executed on "making a market" in these.The opportunity to buy very low and sell veryn high 100% financed seems obvious, but "feet on the ground" would be needed.

I know there's some risk involved and am quite ready to step up for that inasmuch as I wouldn't be directly involved in the industry but would only be a peripheral investor. 

Freddie/Fannie, which is an appendage of the Federal Government, are morons by design.  

I presented in 3-4 minutes, and the defendant went on and on about peripheral items not related to the case.

How about Peripheral Bay Area markets like Tracy, Livermore, Hayward Hills, or even Sacramento?

The real beauty of property management is that all of your clients are real estate investors and that leads to all sorts of peripheral business.
