You can find decent SFHs in the $150k-$180k range that can cash flow if you buy right.The challenges?

You are (older/retired) and could benefit from house hacking and buying a duplex, or renting a room.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Sometimes the trailers I buy do still have titles on them, in which case we either have the seller cancel the title with the DMV before we close, or we have them sign the title into our name, and then we cancel the title ourselves.

@Josh Smith just like any rental property you buy, manage, rehab, etc. nobody cares as much about your bottom line as you do.

It'd just be a shame for you to sell a building and pay tax only to then reinvest your net proceeds after tax in buying your first pieces of investment real estate.  

If you’re looking to buy and hold and get all 3 benefits that’s the way to go.  

Just make sure to look into the HOA’s financials, rules, and rental policies before buying.

We are in both of those markets for fix and flips & buy and holds.

And even if they do, they have to be fairly motivated to be willing to do so (even if you've built rapport and all that good stuff).If they are motivated, usually that means the property needs work and they almost certainly won't lend over and above what you buy the property for.
