Personally I've been investing myself for the past 4 but mainly on Flips and or SF rentals.

Personally, I assign my deals to my end buyers when working with sellers to help them find buyers for their mobile homes. 

A pretty spreadsheet doesn't matter because none of us know how accurate your numbers are, your level of experience, how many times you have seen it in person, and what other property anomalies exist.

To what extent you tell them how you structured the deal, bought the property or anything personal for that matter is up to you.  

Come to find out his wife's dad had a career in real estate, his friend works at a firm as a private lender (that's how he got started), the houses were 50k houses and half of them were trailers...His personal house, while large was in the middle of nowhere...You can see the focus shifted from real estate investing to social media marketing.

My question is how long do you personally wait to see how your Airbnb venture is going to go until strongly contemplating long term?

I recommend consulting with someone experienced in this area.

We have done 600+ loans and like you mention know the numbers.Regarding people getting wiped out, every person has a story.

The reason I changed my mind about John Jackson is, after years of being investor friends, he asked me to be his acquisition person, help train his students and to speak at his seminars.

The first thing you need to know is that mobile homes are NOT real estate; it is personal property.
