I could definitely buy a multifamily by myself but it would be in a less desirable area that we might not feel as comfortable living. 

Buy a neutralizer, spread it around heavy, poly film it, come back in 24 hours, ozonate if there is still smell (likely for a couple days or more depending on smell and ozone capacity of machine), then you’re probably sanding and throwing down whatever stain /polyurethane you desire.

Less desirable neighborhood but in-filling quickly.  

Growing Demand for Affordable Housing: The ongoing shortage of affordable housing options drives demand for mobile home parks, particularly in desirable locations.

Just a personal desire to do this (many reasons, likely none of which are important to the awesome folks on this forum).

You get the most favorable financing, your down payment is much lower than a rental, you can therefore afford a more desirable asset which mitigates risk (nicer properties appreciate more, are easier to sell, attract quality tenants and have lower vacancy/turnover), you will learn the ropes without nearly as much risk as an OOS property presents.

You had one desired outcome that was outside of the parameters of what we were able to make a reality.

I see plenty of owners struggling, but they often has less than desirable properties, poor photos and no remarkable amenities to set them apart.

Desire to get into commercial real estate How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Is your rental in a desirable area or an affordable area?
