In addition to the cash flow, you also have appreciation, easy leverage, tax benefits, and deprecision that eat less of your profits. 

But right now it's an hour drive in gridlock traffic from Long Beach and I'm kinda tired of living in a tiny flat where I eat and sleep in the same place.

Your expenses on maintaining a old MH will eat up any money you make over the term.

Same thing when you go out to eat. 

Peachtree Towers and The Landmark would be the two buildings with the brightest green light to attempt this.  

I'm pretty green, 0 properties, but I have been asking a lot of questions and learning. 

As it stands, I'm just going to place you on my ignore list so you'll stop eating up my alerts with your attacks on literally everyone who's disagreed with you thus far.

I might suggest looking for another law enforcement job closer to home, city or deputy, keep the job and move into RE slowly, build up your RE investing/operations so you can still eat, then move out if you're inclined.

Trouble with deals like that is something can come up during repairs and eat up all the margin.

Glad to see someone from Bowling Green, KY on the website!
