We own one rental unit in a building where the HOA is responsible for the building-wide hot water heater. 

Insurance premiums vary widely by state as laws affecting liability, statue of limitations varies by state, so you can sue someone for something in one state, but not another. 

We are considering a double wide mobile home on several acres that is currently bank owned.

There is a ton of due diligence you will need to develop a park and it could take two years or longer before you start to see cash flow and returns but for the long-term I think they are a good bet.Texas only allows 7 homes per acre state wide and there are further limitations on well and septic vs. municipal utilities.  

If you have jaw pain, popping when opening wide, etc. report that and any other jaw issues to the VA for your compensation. 

The strategies you listed can have a wide range of time input from you depending on how you approach them.The podcasts are a great resource, but dig into the forums if you haven't already.
