As far as the limited supply, I think eventually cities will come back around to allowing MH or tiny home type communities because the demand is growing already and the shortage of affordable/starter housing will need to be addressed at some point in the near future.

For me, realizing I had no viable future in Corporate America.

The state Arizona is growing at a phenomenal case anything you get yourself into you can't lose it's still a buyers market and there is time in the future to sell it and you'll make a really big enough to retire.

Should the offer price reflect the future rent potential, or the past performance? 

Dave,The contract already has this paragraph:"if Seller or Purchaser is or may in the future be under contract with a qualified intermediary for the purpose of effecting a tax-deferred exchange in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, each party consents to the assignment of this contract to such intermediary.

Good luck to you and your future endeavors!

Your customer is different, are you aiming at future homeowners or other investors?

Can't wait to see what the future has in store!

My first goal was to get my real estate license to not only supplement my main source of income, but to also become as knowledgeable about investment properties as possible for what I hope to be future endeavors.

I understand the need for patience and future opportunities as I've learned through the stock market however we've come across a few great deals that would have cash flowed nicely but I was hesitant to pull the trigger on due to the hot market we live in and where I think it's headed.
