Although I find competition for what I call investment grade parks is quite keen.. so returns are more in the MF space.. when you venture out east from the west coast or look at low end parks returns are higher but management is quite intense.. as our dealing with some pretty scruffy tenant base.

There are some home loan options that require as little as 3.5% or even 0% down.

At the risk of taking flak here, I'm going to say I've seen a lot of super cute stock tank pools that are low-cost options. 

In Phoenix, where I’m based, or in markets like San Antonio, the best realtors do more than just list properties.. they go “driving for dollars” to find oppurtunity, leverage their local networks (probate attorneys, CPAs, divorce attorneys) and carefully analyze each property’s cash flow.

If that's not an option, hire an attorney and evict her. 

Based on the info you provided, it seems like a no brainer to make it a rental.

Any marketing should always be based on the information provided by sellers in a deal. 

It would still be based on the revenue it produces.

I'm an Italian investor, and I will say that long term rental is a very risky option.
