Yes, Kalamazoo. 2 bedroom is rented for the next year. $1300/month, tenant pays all utilities. 4 bedroom one is vacant.

By the end of this you'll know more than a double-digit percentage of landlords. 

They need 5 bedrooms or 6 bedrooms and views or beachfront.

I am having a little trouble understanding this, as I thought that if a double wide was built and then brought to a lot as brand new.. not having a used one that has been lot to lot.. and immediatly tied down to foundation (slab). that it would then be seen as real estate, and not manufactured? 

They’re like mini-dictatorships; even after you pay them off, HOA fees keep piling up, and it starts feeling like a timeshare.Miami, while beautiful, isn’t known for cash flow unless you have deep pockets to buy beachfront properties and can afford to take losses while waiting for long-term appreciation.

By any chance is that double the number of doors you own now?

Since the price of a multi unit is double or sometimes 3x the price of a single family home, would it be smart to start off with a SFH and scale up from there or just make the leap into a duplex that I can force some appreciation with minor repairs.

Sorry you’re dealing with this—it’s a good reminder to double-check zoning before closing, even when it seems straightforward.

My experience is the min is around 15%, but I've read some posts on BP that some lenders can offer a lower minimum (but that usually means a higher interest rate).

These are 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom properties that I had originally planned to keep in my rental portfolio, but my plans changed.
