I will recommend my agent, Jeanne Chelston at Dickstein Associates Insurance Agency.

Maybe at year 10, I might only be at $15K monthly, but I'd jump $5K in the last year because I bought an apartment building or mobile home park.Otherwise, would I consider averaging $2K per year in new cash flow as a goal?

Yes, Ridgway is very expensive, also Modulars/Mobiles don't appreciate as well and its harder to lend on them, especially if they are older.

Some parameters that come to mind are:1) Risk Tolerance2) Direct investing versus investing in a fund3) Strategy e.g. value-add, ground up development, etc4) Asset Class e.g. multifamily, self-storage, mobile homes, student housing, senior living etc5) Geographical Area6) Hold PeriodIf you can apply these filters in advance it will leave you with a much more focused pool of sponsors that you can then due-diligence in detail, including asking the BP community for specific feedback.

According to our MLS, a "manufactured dwelling unit" is defined by this criteria which ours meets none of: 1-steel undercarriage/chassis that is the “skeleton” of the house(not wood frame) (ours will be on a crawl space)2-required by law to have HUD tags on each side and a HUD sticker (not required for ours)3-single “mobile home style” or double-wide (more like a modular style)4-generally (not always) identified on the tax card5-auditor history should show the first transfer was the “dealer/manufacturer”Lots of demand in this area for rentals, all comparables are going into contract at $207 a foot.

Sounds like you went through a local lender and not agency debt?

Does anyone recommend a good title agency in Michigan.

This would include SF, duplexes, commercial buildings and mobile homes.I can bring to the table visiting the units, taking pictures, getting the housing estimates for the area, and closing of the deals. 

A "portfolio lender" typically refers to a lender who keeps the loan in their portfolio, rather than packaging it and selling it to one of the agencies or other large investors.

@Bhai Shah this price point is below the agency minimum amounts so the chances you will find a 80% loan for 25-30 years ar not so high.
