The permitting process and the availability of reasonably buildable lots is a concern.   

I agree with wanting the first one to be a "win", I'm just concerned that makes it harder to find something that will cash flow.

Luke, this too confirms my concerns of lopsided splits. 

We reviewed everything prior to purchase so we had no concerns.

You bring up a valid concern with Airbnb's focus on Experiences potentially pulling attention away from improving the core hosting experience.

I want to help my son get off to a great start but I am also concerned what cosigning will do to my debt to ratio and I have been circling real estate investing for the last few years, ready to take a shot now.

@Adam Ramsey -Here is a map of District 24 which I believe includes more than the 4th ward, but generally outlines the area where you would need to start being concerned with the type of tenants the property would bring in, or be concerned about housing appreciation because of the surrounding area.

A low price would be important but not too low (so that it raises buyer concerns) and ideally a brand that is well known and liked by MH buyers. 

What are the red flags and concerns?
