I would highly recommend bringing in an advisor or broker with specific experience and knowledge in this asset class.I have seen many of these parks trade hands on a handshake and a dream, however, you could be taking a huge gamble if you don't get microscopic on the front end.

Rental property characteristics can vary dramatically from street to street. 

If they gave you the runaround and then we’re honest with you that’s a different story but they gambled by being honest with you knowing they might not be able to move in Because they have changed in their hearts and are no longer willing to deceive anyone.

I don't know that I would gamble and say you could sell it if it doesn't work out, you could be holding it for some time.

Which is not true and riskier to only gamble on appreciation I think.

I've lost money on deals that I took a gamble - Detroit homes with more taxes owed than the value of the property, and I've made money.What else can I tell you?

Actually, the majority probably are somewhat reasonable in their expectations and although their questions may smack of naivety, they just want some knowledge at to real estate investing.However, for the minority that come to the forum with an “attitude”, they seem to possess all the negative characteristics of entitlement.  

Otherwise, you are just gambling that the bank will not call the loan if/when they discover you have left the property (which probably states it will be owner occupied in your loan, if it's a primary) and are no longer making payments. 

While they may have a similar characteristic; as in pooling capital, they are quite different.

I'd probably have better odds going to a casino and gambling.
