Basically, YOUR ability to repay the loan and how good your behavior has been paying your debts.

Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goalsMany investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast - either of these behavior will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals.

Educationally, I hold a Masters in Applied Behavioral Science, from John Bastyr University in Seattle, Wa.

I'm dumbfounded by this behavior but see it all the time.

Learning from the experiences of others helps that experience come much more quickly.I've had one situation where it didn't work out as well as we'd hoped due to bad behavior by one partner, so that was unfortunate.

I just spent about 10 minutes confirming I'm seeing the same behavior with Firefox and Safari as well.  

8% interest rates and crazy government behavior that makes economic conditions and investment outcomes highly uncertain

While I am a believer in the tenets of behavioral finance and of going against the herd to find deep value, I still struggle with the idea that there is a whole asset class out there that is mis-priced and a goldmine waiting to be claimed.In addition it does not make sense that parks are claimed to be both very stable compared to multifamily, easier to run than multifamily, AND trade at yields well above multifamily.We live in a world where information is instantaneous, and investors are flush with dollars coming out their ears driving yields down on every type of asset class - why should mobile home parks be any different?

I know that may not be acceptable behavior to the folks that want the property winterized, but you are investing thousands of dollars so what the heck??
