Quote from @Fred Scott: Sunrise Capital Investors - Mobile Home Park Investment FundI've seen a few posts about them here but none of them actually talks about what the actual annual returns have been.They are advertising heavily for passive tax deductions which is fine but what are the actual returns over a period of (say) five or ten years?
