@Mohamad Guene Investing in mobile homes near a university can be a profitable strategy due to affordability, high demand, and strong cash flow potential.

Quote from @Keegan Felix: This is all very new to me, but I started listening to the BP podcast about a month ago and realized I have a strong interest in real estate investing.

Columbus in particular has been a strong market for both approaches, with solid fundamentals for long-term appreciation and cash flow.

Typically, a rating of A- or better is a very strong company.

A guru called this gator lending but I would strongly advise against borrowing funds for a down payment.

It's going to offer Strong economic growth, Appreciation (especially in DFW), Tax advantages (no state income tax), and a Growing population, including infrastructure and amenities. 

Second: cash-flow get's dwarfed by capex over time, so the only equally strong force you can set against capex is appreciation.

Hypothetically, if I found a property with strong rental demand, the income could cover loan payments, operating expenses, and generate a modest positive cash flow.While this example involves upfront risks, the idea would be to leverage my father’s expertise as a contractor to minimize renovation costs, boost the property’s value, and create a long-term asset that appreciates over time.

Look for a mid-sized PM company with a strong local presence.
