In 2023, we made the decision to move to USA and chose NC for many reasons, Mooresville specifically, as my husband is a mechanic and doing classic auto restorations.The immigration process has been brutally long as I am still waiting for my visa to be able to officially immigrate and work.

At the time I looked, 20 or so years ago, the problem with smaller down towns is the proliferation of nearby strip malls, where the stores are surrounded by a large parking lots, and for laundromats, attract more customers as they can park easily, walk to adjacent stores for shopping, snacks, and browse newspaper and magazine racks, which explains why they do better, there's more customers.

6) What parking requirements/issues will you run into?

Larger families, remote workers, or investors could see it as ideal, especially if local schools or amenities like parks, dining, or entertainment are strong.

And if anyone knows has experience with Rise Capital Group or Sunrise (now offering mobile home park/parking lots).

Even without a budget for repairs/etc - let's just define "cashflow" as income left over after PITI & utilities for a moment - Mac Groveland and Highland Park are going to be tough.

Now I am officially in their database. 

We had a paved area for parking where we built the ADU.

How is off street parking.

My preference is Single Family, although I currently own some mobile homes, some parks, and some small multi-family as well as notes on land and houses.
