We've always had the tenants mail or drop off rent checks to my real estate office which has been "okay" but I still find myself wasting an hour each month dealing with mobile deposits or driving to the bank.

I have an opportunity to purchase 13 mobile homes for about $100k (I'd probably offer less) that average $450/month rent, so revenue would be a little under $6000/month.

We found the Mobile Home Depot which became very helpful when replacing things like bathtub units.

., but I guess my point is that even in such a strange year, people are still finding success with Airbnb, especially in catering to this new, mobile workforce (desks, fast internet, etc!).

I am finally at the point where I have enough capital to purchase a used mobile home.

I have a mobile home built 1973 (before the big HUD changes) that has what can only be described as a house built around it. 

The smallest ones have limited online and mobile capabilities, which can be a pain, but most are catching up.

Another avenue that I you haven't mentioned is mobile homes - you can find these in good areas, minimal taxes (especially on older units), and rents can be very profitable compared to single family or multi family for the same money.

This will dictate where you purchase and look for properties based on that number alone.My point is that you always start with the end in mind and work it backwards, this creates the strategy (Buy and hold, flip, Wholesale, Notes) which will be driven by the tactic (SFR, MFR, Mobile homes, Short term rental etc) I always coach people and explain that the property is actually the last piece of the puzzle not the first.Hope this helps

They insure vacant, mobile homes, etc....For a hefty price, but I have used them several times until I get the rehab done and a tenant in.
