It's a lot easier to pilliage and burn in a hot market.

I live in small town OK,and have talked with a local investor/realtor that is known in the area recently.Offered to take him to lunch if he will talk with me about REI,he liked the idea and gave me his card so I begin my networking and education.My wife and I plan to invest in multi-family homes,apt's and mobile home parks.

Probably nothing.I heard of state banking regulators whacking a mobile home park for doing what MHP's have done their entire life, park financed trailers.

I had another member inbox me telling me that sometimes you can get the local fire department to use the house as a burn training house for new firefighters and then just haul the debris after they finish burning it to save on demo cost.Would it make since to try to wholesale it to a particular builder or would any builder do?

YOu will not drive down the roughest neighborhoods on the west coast and see half a block boarded up or 3 burn outs per block...

Maybe a mobile home furnace?

To be fair, the properties I am looking at are multi-unit, so I would assume renting spaces individually would provide better cashflow.My mentor chalks her estimates up to experience and knowledge of comparable properties, but I don't want to get burned by high estimates on my first property.Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated.

I HATE that I can't go back and edit these posts from mobile.

Mobile homes are just strictly a cash flow play.

., but there's also a high degree of income inequality and poor economic mobility; hence the poverty, crime, drugs, etc., and "war zones" where these things occur.
