Manufactured homes lose value fast, are much much harder to finance, appraise very poorly.

I see some areas of manufactured homes and some condos near the ocean.

Like Chatt has a huge outdoor scene, so we have insane eco tourism, we also have the fastest internet in the country so that brings tech folks to us, and we have an influx of manufacturing in the last decade and some change.

Employment seemed somewhat diverse with roughly 25% in manufacturing, 25% in ag, and the rest kind of spread out. 

They are always looking at ways to improve their operations: being vertically integrated (as is BAM), but they go above just managing their own properties to actually procuring many of the finishes for their renovations direct from manufacturers.  

With that being said, I'd like to address the "Guru" hatred on here and try to get some of you to see this from another point of view.I am an autoworker employed by a major car manufacturer in Texas.

In his video Why The US Needs Mexico: Replacing Chinese Manufacturing, watch around 1:30. 

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting $20,000, D class properties.

I currently work in manufacturing industry and seeking a secondary income source.

@Ronald Hunt there was at least one good podcast on BP about buying MH for cash [very low priced] and then selling them as a lease to own or on contract.I love this idea along with a more traditional idea of owning the whole park and enjoying monthly rent for the "dirt" plus having a few homes that are being sold on lease to own in the same park.I also love buying newer "manufactured" homes from the banks as a REO.
