Is our primary residence and is a long term live in flip. $490k mortgage.

Hey, we can't forget about the folks living in those properties!

Now you are selling it after a low income tenant lived in it and put it in a condition that is worse then when you bought it.

These trusts should not be confused with living trusts which purpose is to transfer assets upon death without going through probate.  

A lot of voucher tenants actually can afford to not live in the worst parts of Baltimore but won't live in the best either. 

My parents live there as well.

My thought is: I find one worth the money in the $10-12k range, buy it outright, live in it (in the park) for about a year until I save enough to get another one, then rent out the first one.

I totally get where you're coming from—finding deals that pencil here in the Portland/Beaverton area is tough, especially with the high cost of living and interest rates.One approach that’s been working for some investors locally is exploring opportunities with mid-term rentals (MTRs) or hybrid MTR/STR setups.

I live in Montreal, Canada, one of the safest places in the world to live in.

There was a disconnected phone line, no website, people living in motorhomes illegally and only about 50 percent occupancy (some of those people weren't paying).
