If you aren't quite sure what it is the home is built in a factory and then assembled by a crane.

I had heard about the TESLA factory, but would like to hear more about a large population increase on the horizon.

With the new Tesla factory being built in the Reno/Sparks area of Nevada .

Someone can say an areas has of job growth new development bla bla, and then a big factory closes or a military base shuts down, and the real estate market collapses, It's pure speculation.  

The convenience/ time saving factor is what draws me to using property management.

The property use to be an old factory.

I won't touch anything in these zip codes: 64130, 64132, 64128, and 64127.Part of that area is not-so-affectionately known as the "Murder Factory": http://activerain.com/blogsview/909133/-my-take-on-64130-aka-the-kansas-city-murder-factoryThat's not say there aren't deals in those areas but as an out of state investor I think it's smart to not get greedy and stick to the solid, blue collar and better 'burbs.

I'd rather have 25% of a pie factory, rather than 100% of my own pie.. lol

In fact, their risk factor is actually negative due to the way I structure my deals. very low LTV's, I ALWAYS have lots of cash in the deal, and ALWAYS personally guarantee my loans putting all of my company and personal assets on the line.
