@Pete TarinCheckout the data on vestmap.com, it allows you to search any location and get the DISCERN factors at a glance including income, crime, schools and neighborhood indicator stores.

The gross amounts usually include cleaning fees, which you then pay right out to your cleaner, so factor that in when you figure out your net. 

I know that sounds crazy, and you and I would never think to do it, but people do.At the end of the day, inheriting tenants is a gamble and risk you need to factor in.

The biggest qualifying factor is positive cashflow.

However there are more factors as well.

Those are not the only states but they have been a very Hot market lately.You will find a better price to cash flow ratio in those states due to multiple factors. 

Appreciation is a bit riskier since it depends on factors we can't always control, such as school levies passing, business success, crime reduction, etc.In my opinion, it’s hard as a newbie to jump into appreciation properties, as they require a lot more initial capital to acquire.

I have not heard any speak of the most paramount factor "opportunity cost".

My job is remote so I can move anywhere, and my sister and I have plans in the works for care for my mother so that won't be a factor staying local.

You might be able to make money, but you have to factor in how fast that trailer will depreciate in value over the long term.I would go for a post-1976 manufactured home where you own the land and can get financing in place since it's insurable.
