. - the main occupations are manufacturing and labor, sales and service jobs

If you know a lot about the auto industry, buying up auto part manufacturers junk bonds carries less risk than a REIT for you as opposed to me. 

I am mostly just looking for a bare bones cheap simple build or manufactured home. 

Also, a newer manufactured home. 

This is not retail, its not a service business, its not manufacturing etc.

Our plan is to live in the stick built home that is there now, improve the lot add a Manufactured Home, rent it out, then rent the first home and move on to the next deal ASAP. 

Manufactured housing (aka mobile homes aka trailers) is a form of affordable housing and affordable housing isn't determined by "interest".Owning a mobile home is the cheapest form of safe, private housing available in the United States.

We're unsure how zoning would work here, but there are two other RV yards down the road.Leasing the back as farmlandLeasing the back as horse propertyPossibly subdividing and adding 2-3 manufactured homes as rentalsI'm hoping that someone with experience with this type of property could give us some advice.Thanks!

Hi I am curious if anyone has any experience and knowledge with mobile/manufactured home parks.

I am investing in a military and college town with many manufacturing plants as well as plethora new business developments.
