If you plan on managing it yourself, you want to be close to monitor any improvements and get familiar and comfortable with the entire process.

It is really all about what you are comfortable with and willing to do. 

I feel much more confident and comfortable now in my search for my first park.

For reference, I don't use the alphabet coding because it is easy to dupe investors into feeling comfortable with an area without having to get into detail. 

Plus I wasn't married with kids, so I was comfortable taking the risk.I found that owning my primary residence as my first "deal" was a really great way to get into real estate.

I have built a portfolio of almost 200 units with 90% in Utah and about 75% of those seller-financed.If you don't feel comfortable with seller financing, finding off-market deals or value add opportunities I highly suggest we jump on a Zoom call.You need to network with people who are where you want to be and if you don't you won't get there, ever.

It's also helpful to interview a few candidates to see who you feel most comfortable with in terms of understanding your goals and who can offer practical advice tailored to your investment strategy.Make sure to ask about their experience with real estate investors, their fee structure, and whether they have dealt with setting up similar business structures.

If you are not comfortable with your accountant or how he is preparing/explaining your return, you may need a new accountant. 

Just depends on what your comfort level and willing to dive in the deep end.If your open to higher price range I would tell you to try and stay in the multifamily since it helps offer more rents per month under one mortgage, tax bill and insurance policy.

The scarcity of options that these people have makes them happy to drive a bit to solve their problem while also maintaining their comfort and safety during their stay.
