I definitely must have skipped a few chapters.

That definitely brings a spotlight to that practice.

It is definitely not "passive", but it is still a great investment vehicle.   

With that in mind, I’ve decided to focus first on finding a distressed SFH that I can add value to, live in for a few years, and keep as part of my long-term portfolio.I like your suggestion about building the “core 4” team—agent, lender, contractor, and property manager—and will definitely prioritize that as I move forward.

and it definitely has felt that way haha, I've been posting it EVERYWHERE.I was drawn to S8 for the slightly above/guaranteed rents and the very long term tenancy.

Google is definitely strict about virtual addresses, so I’d tread carefully with services like iPostal1.

I would definitely sell to an owner occupied resident since that is what the park is telling you.

At a certain point it becomes a lot of work but you can outsource a lot of the work by hiring VAs which is way cheaper than a management co (definitely not as hands off though) 

It is definitely worth the effort in the long term!

Very few mobile homes qualify under this definition.4.
