I've been thinking too of affordable housing.Investing in buy and holds in low to moderate income area due to a lower barrier to entry for each unit.

A mobile or manufactured home in a land lease community if far more practical and affordable but practical and affordable does not appeal to dreamers.There are some moderately successful communities buy it is a very tiny market that will have a very uncertain future.

We haven't yet finalized what property we want to buy (were still in the finding a deal stage), but I want to know how much vacancy rates can be affected long term by conditions that are completely outside the control of the investor.I guess what I am asking is this:Can an investor do everything right in a B or C class neighborhood in a moderately growing market and expect occupancy rates to stay at or above 90% for many years.
