If the $1000 includes Open House signs, 3 months monthly fee, business cards, website, key access, a lockbox, training program so on and so on, then I can see why.

BP is one of the best online real estate investment websites.

You didn't give a price for the house that would generate the $1300-$1500 rent, but my guess (and this is a total SWAG based on what I've heard from others in that market), is you'll be "all in" around $150K-$200K

Goal for this first property is to primarily generate cash-flow, and secondarily for its appreciation -- whether forced or by the market.

If you go to the Vermont Manufactured Housing Association website, vtmha.org, and look at the member directory, I'm sure there is someone there that can sell you a beautiful modular home. 

i am looking for a website that someone spoke about here. it was a site that graphically showed where each us city was in the market cycles by some economics prof from florida.

Included should be professional photos, marketing on all avenues, showing the property, they have an application, they present applicants to you for approval, they generate the lease, collect funds, and provide keys to the new tenant.For turnover, I recommend have the realtor visit the property and create a condition report, which reports to you just that, but you want to know what needs to be done to the property to get up to rentable condition again. 

I have lots of pictures and a virtual tour for them to see on my website.

@Mindy Jensen and @Scott Trench  Ok best website ever. 

I love this website and I'm looking forward to learning a lot.
