Buying 3 or 4 houses a year to get to your goal is great if you have the cash reserves and experience to renovate and manage, otherwise your first trashing of a property, bad rental period, and they happen, will end your adventure and add some time to your planned work life.Be cautious.

Being employed full-time at a 9 to 5 job will allow me to step into this adventure, although my goal is to eventually jump into this being my main focus.

The Choctaw casino is on track to be completed in December, which is a huge positive for the area.

Please don't post your scenario in this thread, use this when making your own thread.Your goals and story: What are you trying to accomplish, how are you trying to accomplish it, and what hurdles (if any) have you faced.Type of property: Single family home, manufactured home, RV/trailer, multi-family (specify unit count), mixed use (specify resi v commercial unit counts and approximate square footage distribution between the two), hotel, casino, mobile home park, other (specify).Location of property: State at a minimum, county better, city would be nice, zip code if you're comfy sharing. 

But the real deal was the Graton tribe bought the 230 acres across from us in a land assemblage took 15 years wrangling with the state and ended up building the largest Casino in Northern Ca right across the street from us  :)  and the City brought us into the city limits and up zoned us.. 

Go to your local casino and put it on black.

On the other hand, partnering with an expert may be a way to educate myself on mobile home parks, develop a mutually valuable and financially beneficial long term relationship with an expert/experts in the field and begin a long term and profitable adventure.

But then again maybe they are making $100K but have child support/ student loans or a really expensive hobby (gambling at the Horseshoe Casino) that they love more than where they live.

I'm very excited about this new adventure in my life and all I'm learning.

After eating up articles, podcasts and books from Bigger Pockets over the last 6 months, I've decided to engage a bit:) Not exactly sure why or where it will lead, but in general I think it's always good to reach out and make intentions known, learn and contribute whenever I can.About me....I'm originally from Georgia, and after years of adventure travel and mountain guiding all over the world, I've landed in Bend, Oregon, where my wife and I have lived for 5 years.
