Do you live in South Bend? 

We have adapted by changing the rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

My property was originally purchased as my 1st home, so if I would live in the area myself, then I would recommend it to over investors. 

What was your plan to manage the property especially when you are not living in that area/ country.

My former boss lived in trailer like 25 years ago, and saved thousands before buying a real home.

Sounds like you have a great advantage with your background and time living locally.

I live & invest in Chicago but recently have turned my head towards Northwest Indiana because of the landlord friendly laws, it's ridiculously costly in Chicago if you have to evict! 

Hello BP familyI recently just watched a live webinar with Chris Naugle.

I have a few for cash flow but I prefer equity - which I live in the Washington DC area so you are not going to be getting cash flowing rentals off the bat but if you hold them for 20 years you will not be complaining. 

My wife and I create Real Estate Meet-ups wherever we live (lived in many places due to being in the Navy for 21 years) and I believe that these groups help change that potential energy of potential investors into kinetic energy and make kinetic investors.
