The art and jewelry schedules are occasionally more valuable than the house.

the 2nd association it resonates is the highly consumption-driven society we live in. in my area (coastal, urban southern california) i'm surrounded by 2 distinct lifestyles. there's the majority: seems like 95% of the local population who are renters, driving luxury cars, sporting fancy clothes, jewelry, hairdos, etc but obviously living paycheck to paycheck as exemplified by hardly a day somebody or the other is spotted  getting their car repo'ed by a camera crew. the rarer are the landlords, who in this area seem to be of mostly asian demographics (chinese, koreans, japanese) who live obviously very frugally: old 80s model sedan, oldfashion business cloths, always eating simple meal from home, seemingly never splurging $$$ other than into expanding their portfolio), my observance is relatively very few landlords in the area own relatively huge portfolios, each.with the advent of these infomercials and the internet (ie, BP) more and more people want to get a 'piece of the REI pie' and more power to them. there does seem to be this dream of rags to riches and while its ok to dream, do most people actually expect their life to turn around like that, as portrayed in most of the infomercials or even in the everyday setting where the masses living paycheck to paycheck, are spending their last expendable dollars not on depositing into savings acount, but blowing $20 on scratchies etc. in summary, is my observation reminds me of my days when i worked on wall st and the 'ra trace' was so obvious with dime a dozen stock brokers makin 6fig salaries at some point but blowing it on recreational drugs apparently costing thousands of dollars a pop to the point the next week they are broke again and that $ wasnt invested but wasted.  

They are 80's vintage but in good shape, water is landlord paid.All of my properties are in a smaller town that doesn't really compare to something like KC though.

@Steven Kleppin  any vintage home will have an inspection report that will scare you if its your first time buying. 

I am sure this is a faux-pas but has anyone ever asked someone on craigslist who claims to be a cash buyer for financing?

Is it better to focus on vintage trailers like Airstream, Streamline, etc or just run of the mill trailers.  

Most cities/counties won't give a permit to move that vintage.

Plus my wife is able to paint and faux so together I think we could make a great team..we both work full time but my schedule is flexible because I mainly work from home as a wine importer and my wife works in the school system, so she has summers off.Looking to learn how to find investors that will work with me because my rental history is only a coke months and I have 2 mortgages currently.  

It is an excellent training tool that will help you reduce the chance of mold becoming a problem.We invest in vintage homes.

I'm in the same area-ish (Oakhurst) but am strictly part-time, have a few rentals of the same vintage, but all south of the City of Decatur.
