Here’s, the hard truth I’ve found in 45+ years in the industry; the vast majority of real estate investors, practitioners and business owners do not have a scalable activity.  

@Seth Williams I work in the group home industry.

I came back to Ohio and started working for a construction company, and have been there since. (2017) Currently I manage an asphalt plant for them in Columbus.I haven't done a ton of real estate investing, but have a strong understanding of construction, and project management. 

Is the industry perfect or without fraud.

Make sure your Insurer is industry specific and not just your personal insurance. 

Regarding DTI - mortgage industry will alllow around 40%, but tenants tend to pay a higher percentage of their income to rent/housing than homeowners.

I am sure I will be very publicly wrong, and you all can make fun of me in two years, when stocks double and real estate prices crash 20% from here, but I just don't know how you can watch this industry, this closely, for this long, and not be raring to go in the current environment. 

While the speech was neither pro nor anti manufactured housing industry, it did share some phenomenal insights.Early in the speech, Dr.

While less than 10% of the mortgage industry offers 40-year mortgages, here's something to factor in: they often come in with a rate increase of 20-35 bps.Assume 35 bps.$300k mortgage at 7.25% (30-year): $2,046$300k mortgage at 7.6% (40-year): $1,996Technically, it lowers the monthly, but not by much once factoring in the rate adjustment.

Look for sponsors that have been in the real estate industry thru several economic and market cycles.
