As to the quandary posed by the OP: The root of the issue is that it basically sucks to be an RE investor these days.

If we tried to plant the whole tree there would not be enough roots to support the leaves.  

Although i do think there is more money to be made in RE than selling soap. 

In fact, the residents are deeply rooted - "mobile home residents are less likely to move than residents of site built houses.  

Sometimes it's not the tenant's fault - tree roots, collapsed pipe, old materials from a previous tenant, etc.

Acquisition is the root of real estate investing - if you can master the systems and processes around that you will have a skill that can be translated to bigger and bigger deals.I'd advise against developing on your own at first - if you find a partner that is knowledgable then go for it.Syndications can be great, they also can be horrible.

Heck, I’ve made a few missteps myself along the way and still have a few sleepless nights when a deal starts to feel more like a soap opera.

I'm looking forward into developing my roots in the community! 

They will be fully furnished including some small items like towels soap and shampoo. each room will have a mini fridge desk closet on suite bathroom and chair and TV.

So I do want to clarify a few things about how my property is furnished that I assumed was implied, but my potential MTR does have the following: - Washer/Dryer- 75 inch mounted TV - Fridge/Microwave - Kitchen Appliances (silverware, pots/pans, soap dispensers, coffee maker, cutting boards, etc) - Multiple large mirrors on walls, fake plants around the home, living room carpet/coffee table in additon to couch. - Full office with a desk and a deskchar plus filing cabinet. - Bathroom towels, hair dryer, soap, toilettires, etc. - Grill in the backyard.
