You hit on a tough reality.. inheriting tenants who aren’t prepared to pay on time can be one of the biggest curveballs for a landlord.

The biggest employer shut down about a year ago and 3  hurricanes (2 major) hit directly in the last year.

At least for me the biggest complaints are my staff, visitors, etc. parking in front of their house. 

that is more a RV park. the MBH parks down here. we typically own the land, lot, and trailers. there is a reason but long story short, if i just own the lot and they dont pay the fee. i do not have the biggest teeth to push the need for my money. but if i own it all, my experience says it is a better path

Biggest thing is to get a 3rd party inspection on anything you buy out of state.

So cash flow isn’t the biggest concern.

People still think it's a junky casino town which is just not the case anymore. 

There's money to be made whatever you decide to do but your biggest advantage is your age and time available to learn and grow.I have thought about house hacking for quite some time now.

My biggest focus right now is passive income.

Do your homework first - then you'll be ready for a more meaningful conversation with a landlord.Best...Thanks for your response. so I have researched the rates and I understand that screening a tenant is crucial. mu biggest concerns are the carrying costs until a tenant is filled as I’ve heard the process can take up to 3 months to find a tenant.
