This is the “over night” success that’s taken 20 years.2 - Superior uncommon knowledge, combined with experience and capital and a willingness to take a risk (speculate).  

They can sometimes be more open to funding niche investments like mobile home parks, especially when you’ve got proven cash flow and a solid plan.Another option could be talking to your uncle about seller financing.

McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.

I've calculated the lump sum costs to be $9,500 for buy and sell combined and a monthly reduction in cashflow of $347 due to the new loan and taxes.
