I was unsure about the commercial tenants but knew I could get the MHPs up to market rent very quickly.

Multiple investors with decades of experience, some GP, some LP, some skeptics about the entire business in general sense and some bulls who have gotten rich from investing have all chimed in on this you got links to specific case studies from Brian Burke, a seasoned syndicator, a guy check from Melanie p, who makes it a part time job taking the trash out and exposing the shenanigans of one syndicator after another.Greg Scott has an excellent reputation on these forums, and provides a counterpoint to Melanie’s skepticism.
