The desired area is next to a university and a hospital, and only about 15 minutes to downtown Denver.

I am now under contract (first time) for a duplex I will be house hacking 7 minutes from a major university on 3 acres.

Also Universal is due to open its new park in Orlando summer of 2025.

If you can't afford Nashville proper, my next suggestion would be to check out one of the university markets orbiting Nashville.

Indy is affordable, is landlord friendly and has a diverse job market (FedEx, Eli Lilly, Indiana University Health are 3 major employers and there is starting to be a small tech presence).

Look at the plan of the university as well.

I also teach for two universities on a part-time basis, so that creates a little income, my wife has a retirement income and I do some independent consulting work on the side.

@Forest WuYes there is much hype about MF distress.It’s over hyped in my opinion.While lots of MF assets are in distress, within the total universe of MF properties, I suspect only 10% are in distress.The truth is generally distressed properties have little or no equity in them so at the end of the day, the lender will be the one in charge.And the lender will want to sell to a cash buyer who can write a check.Say a lender is owed $25M on a property, buyer is underwater.

My experience is in Alabama association law, but I suspect the principles are universal:  There is a hierarchy of rules for HOAs and just like government documents, a lower ordinance can be used to execute and make more specific a "higher rule," but can't contradict it. 

I have followed Frank Rolfe and his Mobile Home University for over 20 years.
