I am a REALTOR®, real estate agent, manufactured/mobile home specialist and real estate investor, residing in San Jose, California.

Do you have a team or the ability  to assemble the team to support you.Lastly, while appreciation in SF or even in LA my be attractive, I would caution you to not count on that as, unless you are finding a way to manufacture the appreciation, don't count on it.  

When it did come out it was per manufacture instructions.

For example, what if John got a hold of the inventory only AFTER he started his US business, where he went back to China and struck a deal with the manufacturer for $5 million of T-shirts, but only on something like a consignment, where he wouldn't have to fork out any money at the outset.

In many parts of the US, manufacturing and similar jobs are going away (or have already left) and what remains are service sector jobs.

Accordingly, I believe the Federal government's influence in Freddie, Fannie, and student loans; and the auto manufacturers' influence in the new car loan space are not healthy things.So, yes, I think lightning can certainly strike twice.

@Rahul Saini You may want to check out the Manufacturing Housing Institute for more info.

I have 3 kids I work 55-60 hrs in manufacturing and self manage several apartments one hour away in different directions too so it’s a lot of driving and budgeting of time .

Raw goods are produced to widgets (widget=any product) through a manufacturing process and as materials are purchased over time there will be price differences, in inflationary time FIFO will be best, when times are flat or recessionary LIFO is better as it places timing of purchases to sales.It was a joke!

Nearly 20 acres right on busy highway just outside (1 mile) major metro area with military base, casino, shopping and large manufacturers.
