To be clear my goal isn't to have a bunch of cash flow Y1 but just looking to break even.2) How could I go about finding markets where MHP are more beginning investor friendly?

They have nice looking direct booking sites, but I'm more curious about their digital marketing training and crm software included with their package. 

Lol.They have decent deals from time to time, but they are usually volume based, not in tune with market, and more motivated to push a sale than to really see if a deal is good or not.

At the time, we were new to the market and, admittedly, didn’t conduct thorough due diligence before buying.We purchased a property in the Atlanta area, renovated it, and listed it for sale.

How do I access a portion of that equity to fund the purchase of 1-2 more MFR properties in more affordable markets like OH, IN, MI, PA, TN, or AL?

Market analysis is performed.”  

I didn't follow the impacts on the housing market though.Great website. 

My thinking is I can not as it probably works as I does in the stock market with my IRA.

Negative gearing kills the market for cashflow investors.

Also should be a new market analysis every time, and with that comes negotiations back n forth with landlord and tenant.
