Airbnb is probably subject to legislation risk to a great degree.  

In that case, I definitely recommend investing outside of your area.I would be very careful about the hands-on degree of your purchase. 20-30k in any market will certainly require a bit of work.

That is the significant reason why you will see a high degree of capital flowing into MHPs toward the top of the cycle; it is seeking a place to weather the coming storm and avoid loss of capital. 

I work in Planning, Design and Construction and Facilities Management at a local hospital and have a Masters degree in Construction Management from Arizona State University (Go Sun Devils). 

I have a degree in business and currently work in an industry that I love as an advisor at an automotive appearance school.I would like to eventually invest in rental properties to build cash flow.

So you can either get a four year degree or for almost twice the price get a few weeks of education.  

Then think of every mid west town and and southern town and realize that this gentrification is not happening anywhere but a few places and not nearly to the degree it is in Charleston or Portland Or. for that matter.I started in Charleston almost 18 months ago  and what I bought then in some instances the prices have doubled..

I still know how things work to a degree and understand them but the highest use of my time is running my business. 

I'm a numbers person too (finance degree and MBA) so maybe I could get along :-).

I have an Electrical Engineering degree but haven't designed anything in over 9 years having moved into more of a project management role.
