High interest rates will continue to suppress demand for homes, build inventory, and allow for buyers to better negotiate for home prices.

@Patience Echem what is your effort/risk appetite and how much incremental investment cash do you have each year before retirement.

My recommendation is to focus on Stick-Built, Brick & Mortar property versus Mobile/Manufactured, main reasons; 1) Investor appetite, 2) Appreciation factor, 3) Re-sell value, 4) Future buyer/investor appetite.

There is some appetite for 5-8 units but I have not seen pricing being favorable. 

There are a few things you need to look at and take into account.Everyone's financial situation, risk of appetite and goals are different.

Learn about fire suppression systems, door heights/widths, ADA, sidewalk parking, hvac, etc.Figure out how to bring value to the transaction.  

Its more expensive but depending on your appetite for risk could be worthwhile. 6.

I only want a fair purchase price but the unbelievable stress has taken a toll on my sleep, appetite, my life in general.

I suppose they could be geez they would be opening themselves up to a huge lawsuit that most lenders (big and small) don't have the appetite for because this is a small and immaterial violation.

People would need to know how much you have to invest in either project, where you are, and what your appetite for risk is.
