If you are a fan of Perioa Illinois you should connect with @Brad Stegall he's a big investor in the area and has a large meetup there.I say invest for your Grandson! 

They highlight the difference between the average home cost and the average home value suggested by the price of large institutional companies such as American Homes 4 Rent and Invitation Homes Inc.I suspect this is nonsense (especially as according to google their price to book ratio is positive). 

My guess is they have low level of book keeping sophistication. 

Eventually, I realized that if I kept waiting until tax time to organize my books, I would never escape the stress (and extra CPA fees).

I'm still a fan of West Coast appreciation although I know it's very difficult to buy in 2024 with very high prices.  

Every bank at that time had way too many non-performing assets on its books.

Does anyone recommend knowledge sources on building a mobile home parks (websites, books, organizations, plans, etc..). 

I'm a big fan of value-add opportunities, whether it's buying something currently undervalued & fixing it up to my standards, or buying something that has additional income opportunities that have yet to be incorporated. 

I reached out to my investment advisor who pointed me to a couple books that opened my mind to the other possibilities.

I've read many of the BiggerPockets books like - House Hacking- Flipping- Estimating Rehabs- Multifamily Millionaire Book I and II- How to Invest in Real Estate with Low or No Money Down- Investing from a Distanceand even some outside of themand have been wanting to do something in Real Estate for awhile.
