There are so many good comments concerning internal matters.

Very few buyers - concerned about job loss, lower RE values,can't sell current home ect....Basic supply and demand (economics 101) seems to indicated lower future RE values.

I would suggest [REMOVED] and "Making Money With Mobile Homes" by Lonnie Scruggs.

My main concerns is building a buyers list before making any offers on properties.

Its not a good way to be an investor as far as I'm concerned.

The tenants are more concerned with how much to move in.

As far as I am concerned, there is 80%+ that just go through life in a fog, can’t think or make a logical conclusion with a road map and wonder why things are going badly for them.

It won't be hard to generate private money interest on that, but like Mike said - your biggest concerns are remodel.Get that concrete block checked out.

.- Mobile homes.Other commercial will be volatile.Investigate HUD 223F.

we have this in my town also $65 a year and they do an outside inspection onlyit is total crap and just another way to soak us "rich " landlords,,, if they were truly concerned about rental up keep they dont need a yearly inspection for that code inforcement officers go around marking up fines all day long on any house especially bank owned vacant houses they know it will have to be paid by the bank before it can sell
