Each one teach one------One of the pros, much less tenant turnover.Section 8 renting is different from normal renting, because you're providing a more permanent living solution.

I am taking a permanent college hiatus to pursue big things.

I assumed they would be classified as mobile homes because I dint want them to be permanently on the lots.

LOL  I would like to see a standing schedule that is permanent (maybe with an occassional change) where you know the schedule every week, what day, what time with the login information so you can put it on  your calendar recurring permanently for the 6 months.  

Sometimes I think people think that just because RE offers something virtually no other investment does (the ability to permanently borrow against the investment), it should always be treated differently than any other investment. 

There's tremendous growth and it's becoming a really popular area - especially for investors - due to people moving in trying to get out of Orlando and all the crowds, the fact that is easily accessible by several freeway systems and of course, for the tourism business due to it's proximity to Disney.Almost every community has a generous mix of permanent and short term (vacation rental) residents. 

So I would rather buy a manufactured home where you can pretty much see all the problems, for around $30k, then sell for about $70k, Usually it's on an acre of land, avg sf 1600, with a permanent foundation.Financing for our buyers is a bit tricky.
