Could be some difficult times ahead. 

I will, of course interview and do my own due diligence with these companies, but I just wanted to get an idea from everyone that could possibly give me a heads up on who's great or who to stay away from.

First off, it sounds like you trusted your instincts but still went ahead, which shows you’re a decision-maker.

House hacking can also be a solid way to offset expenses early on.It sounds like you're diving in with a great mindset and skill set—being handy and managing yourself puts you ahead of the game. 

And while there are plenty of skeezy homeowners, I know I will pay the bill, unless you go way off budget and we didn't talk about it ahead of time.

You can buy a luxury home in Florida for example for $1M to $1.5M bigger than a $2.5M home in CA.They make Hurricane Proof homes now so its not that bad if you plan a ahead.  

I own thirteen mobiles in one of my parks and the only way it pencils is that we A) take very good care of the homes staying ahead on the maintenance, B) Rents are high in the area so we can charge $550 over the pad rent which is $450- so $1000 per month.  

Of course, in hindsight with what the market has done, I wish I'd gone full steam ahead, but in the moment I was playing it cautious.I'm also looking for income to quit my W2. 

Ahead of Manhatten, LA, San Francisco. 

I figured I’d go ahead and cancel for next year so I wouldn’t be charged again but continue to use the features.
