I certainly can see how this all happened though Guru's charging folks how to be a synidcator so lots of beginners.. then of course competing offerings and knowing how investor gravitate to the highest returns without really understanding the risks etc.

It was a pretty annoying process and I'm not sure if its actually worth it, but my husband is risk-averse so here we are.

When you get to rural areas, even in Tuscany, you need to more risk-adverse as the property value might not increase, unless you have another operating business on it like a boutique hotel or vineyard, that you can blast social media influencers to get more people to come.

Auction buying is a risk just is..

Debt increases risk.

Been hesitant to pull money out of risk free 5% yield + stock market for a rental property but at some point hope to do so when it feels like it makes sense.

Some people seem to get locked in to one place they find, or a place a friend or family member is selling without really evaluating the available market.In a small town in East Texas I would think your biggest risk is a big player coming to town that can absolutely crush a smaller player. 

Your risk vs. reward is way off balance there. 

We’ve considered just disclosing and selling as is, but I suspect the buyer pool would be very limited knowing the issues and risks.  

The headache and the risk is owning the mobile home.
