I still post there but it has gone down hill every year for the last five years.- Zillow is my main source of good leads.- Facebook generates a lot of activity, but rarely do I find good people there.

If your apartment building totally goes to down hill, you still have a physical structure and land.

If they can knock all work out within a week,  the house will hit the market early November,  if I hit any delays it could push into Thanksgiving after that its all down hill IMO until Late Jan.

Most MH lot tenants are good folks who take pride in home ownership but a few bad ones tend to attract more bad ones and it goes downhill quickly.  

In fact my first eviction was a single mother of 2 in a very similar situation to yours where she started sliding downhill by not paying her utility bills.

I also recommend that you don't be a stranger to the management/maintenance team either -- regular contact & inspection and keeping tabs is always a good idea as things can go downhill fast. 

I see some areas of Balto moving ahead , but how I see it, Balto over all is going down hill 

Great plan, concur with all the above - quite possible in theory, but may vary hugely according to markets and unexpected trends/events.I'd run the financial expansion plans carefully - there are a lot of assumptions thrown in there that would require re-confirming or re-adjusting after the first few properties are purchased - make sure you have a safety buffer, as things tend to slide down-hill fast when you're leveraged and cannot afford repayments.Best of luck!

It's all downhill from there.

I was in Buffalo the other week and South Buffalo, which used to be nice, appears to be going down hill so I would stay away from there.
