All in one ac units can save on space for new install and a bit cheaper.

It will be easier and cheaper to obtain than Hard Money and you may be able to keep the loan for 2-5 years without re-financing which will allow the property to appreciate.

Newer modular housing will make it easier and cheaper to put up a home

At first they looked cheaper when I was checking them out, but then I realized they were actually MUCH more expensive than my current brokerage. 

Sometimes the 15 rate is significantly less than the 30, like in 2012 when it was over 20% cheaper. 

Would caution you even further if you like those states because they are "cheaper."  

A strategy that I find a lot of investors, and myself are using more recently down here is finding a property that needs work since they can be sold a lot cheaper, and fixing them up so they can cash flow after being rented out.With 50k you could get a hard money lender, and they will give you cash to buy, and also fix up the property. 

Consider the services they provide and the quality of those services.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Yes we have relied on mentors (our contractors and real estate agents), but we have sent them leads, work and have treated them fairly on every project we do.Much cheaper than hiring a guru who you really don't know if they are successful in the first place.

@Tanner Martillo Being a local investor in San Diego myself and having invested in cheaper markets previously as well I can tell you the difference was night and day.
