Our family owns 3 different mobile home parks- but we are looking to do some investing on our own.  

There isn't a lot of context right here but if you have a 30% equity position let's say that 300k can do a lot for you. you can build single family homes in my market in columbus ohio in perpetuity cash and make 10x what you make from owning real estate. real estate is a get rich slow strategy by owning I'd get more active and start a syndication. there are way better ways to earn 6 or 7 figures in this industry. don't listen to anyone who is behind you. 

Interestingly I've seen multi-family selling for $2 million range, so about the same as a nice single family. 

May be you should talk with him.Allstate, State Farm, American Family, Farmers, & Country are not the people you want to talk to for south side properties.

Sold a problematic family home to an investor in 2023 after a death in the family and watched it be flipped into something I could never have imagined and sold for 4 times what they paid us. 

While this has served me and my family well, it has not allowed me to become financially free. 

I am interested in purchasing my first multi-family property. 

Our family went to a restaurant that had a "claw machine" with colorful prices.  

She'll pay me market rate rent, thus keeping that money in the family, and the condo will eventually transition into a more traditional rental property that will support my retirement and that my children will one day inherit. 

The rates vary throughout the State because of the different millage rates and tax districts, but in Richland County for instance, the taxes essentially triple once it goes from legal resident to non legal residence.
