In the manufactured home industry, I've heard more complaints about new homes being bought and installed straight from the factory than consumers buying older homes direct from homeowners. 

We're fortunate to have an above-average income and live well below our means.This summer, we’ll be moving to Detroit (PCSing in August), and we’ve saved about $120,000 to invest in addition to having funds set aside for the home we’ll purchase in Detroit.The reason I’m posting is that I’m struggling to decide how to best allocate the $120k.

For example, I started investing in Buffalo (NY) a few years ago because I liked the stable population statistic along with the fact that a big chunk of the population is in the healthcare industry... along with major car manufacturers having plants or some sort of manufacturing factory there (Tesla, GM, etc.) 

Also, content or manufacturing industry doesn't punishment seller for using multi platforms.

If growing the portfolio isn't the route for you, then the market is still a great hedge to diversify (S&P returns 8-10%/year on average). 

I'd say each property on average has at least 2 bookings a week ( more during the on season) so that's about 34 hours a week average.

I do know Walter and have known him for more than 25 years, he is upstanding and he is smarter than the average bear, he's in the deal to help people and I have learned an immense amount from him I am now 67 years old and I bought my very first home by having my parents cosign!

Real estate investing is forgiving; the average person can still make money even with some big mistakes.

I average about $2000 a month in cashflow on the current rental property, and the new property would bring in around $3500 in gross revenue.

I am new to real estate investing and eager to learn more about the industry.
