Bringing in homes involves a lot of costs beyond just the cost of moving and installing the home (site work, new pad, utility connections, home make-ready costs, cost of capital….)

@Karine Ingraham Rents are very inexpensive in T AZ - perhaps MIL could just rent and you guys could buy a property to rent out with a 12 month lease to a professional.If mom can find a pad for 700/mo and you can find a place that brings in 800/mo its a win in my book...

And if not that, I would be sure to pad the utility bill to account for any increased usage that might come along before you can reset it at the next rental period.  

I then figured numbers on a pad and showed that $40k at closing was generous. 

I also like the idea of rentals around airports and targeting flight attendants, crash pads are also a  great way to make a rental  cash flow.  

Then again, if we’re smart, we also do things like insure our vehicles and check the brake fluid before we make those crazy driving decisions.

Among other things, good guests are not looking for a goodwill bachelor pad

It's in the ghetto and that rent seems like a dream, doubt you'll get it.https://hotpads.com/4515-virginia-ave-kansas-city-mo-64110-1kngy73/1s/pad

If you work hard, do good work, show up on time, deliver when you say you will, deal honestly, don't try to pad the bill to make up for other jobs, return your calls in a timely manner, and are a good person, you'll go far.
