Neither path was completely hands-off, but the returns turned out higher than we initially expected (despite all the lumps and bumps along the way).As for Lakeland, I think @Andrew Haley's observations about mobile homes are spot on.

I was in your spot at 23, took a chance, and started a business.

Syndication may spend your money then loose interest as an example and move on to next deal.Also, if they tell you, we are full but one spot is available, beware you are being played.

Too many people get stuck in analysis by paralysis and then before they know it it's been 5 years and they are in the same spot Do you think my age will impact my authority as a landlord?

But of course, having an additional spot or two reserved for the ADU would be ideal.

I use the Rent Redi software to manage my tenants, so everything is done electronically.

If you had 20 years of experience, great connections in the US, and knew your market in and out then I would say you could probably leverage at a higher rate and could probably manage that risk because you have substantially decreased all of the other risks.You should really study what happened in the US during the 80's when overleverage on real estate put a lot of people in a bad spot.

., you’re spot on and the condo conversion would be a good move but I think it might be too soon for that (I am a little more attached than my other properties since it’s my home).

I an afford to sit on this property as its in the Yosemite AirBnb hot spot and don't need to do anything right away as its in a killer location.

You’re in an exciting spot.
