We work only with investors in our office so you can trust me when I say people are still buying and making money. 2.

I would also find a way to sleep at least 2 people (if not 4) using convertible sofas and/or murphy beds. 

But, presumably people will be around this so you really should have this properly designed.Just another way to look at this... 

Homes that are "modular" are partly constructed in a factory and then assembled on the building site, otherwise they are just like any stick-built home with the same code requirements.A lot of people have made millions with manufactured homes.

Purchase price: $194,500 Cash invested: $51,000 When we talk about long term rentals the goal is to buy something that people are going to live in 3-5 years with the ability to raise rent over time ahead of insurance, taxes and inflation.

I have 2 people that are willing to do this deal.

"Saturated" is a bit of a throwaway term IMO - I manage STR's on Oahu and while Hawaii is about as "saturated" as it gets with STR's, people are making great returns on the right investments.

I say this because some people try to get in as a get rich quick scheme and it is not. 

I know people with huge door counts who lose money every month.

I know there are many people on BP that invest out of state, but the challenges for doing so are not small.
