or  are these ancient pads made for when mobiles were 50' long?

@Jaime Topete mobile homes and condos are a good way to invest here locally if you don’t have a few 100k to put down.

Also you may want to invest in a mobile security system until the property has a tenant in it.  

The most successful real estate investors stay dedicated, despite the difficulties!

My wife and I have had a mobile home rental for about 7 years now but unfortunately have only rented it out to break even and to pay mortgage, insurance and the HIGH Bossier Parish property taxes.

You have to be willing to give up nights and weekends when friends and family are having fun to be the best.I met a very talented, dedicated lady at my first brokerage who had been selling real estate full time for 3 years.  

Mobile Home Parks/ Senior Retirement Communities/ Modular Housing Communities are an extremely attractive investment opportunity.

I would probably dedicate a minimum of 10% between the two if it's in okay shape, otherwise a little more.

Also, at least in Florida we have to obtain a special permit for an RV Park/Mobile Home Community.

I’m in the process of going under contract and looking for a contractor/business partner who is dedicated, Does nice work and is detailed oriented.
