There is an interesting article below that is focused on REITs but has some good analysis that actually argues the effects may be nation wide, and also has some good data on the apartment markets supply and demand fundamentals aside from the effects of flooding:https://seekingalpha.com/article/4102880-quantifyi...I still remember distinctly that I was in a Marshall Reddick "seminar" in early 2006 and he had a bunch of guys that were scaling up out of state in Mississippi, that were trying to say how great Hurricane Katrina had been for them since their property prices skyrocketed afterwards ... in retrospect, the supply shock to that market from the hurricane temporarily covered up some deeper supply and demand fundamental issues that would later resurface in a big way, as we all know. 

@Krish Das, I would suggest getting on several wholesalers' lists in the market (such as Atlanta) that you are interested in so you can get a wide view of properties, areas, and prices.

Hey BP so my sister has a friend selling a MH in Chula Vista for $20 k single wide rent $500 a month I was thinking on making an offer originally it was a 1/1 however the husband is a contractor and built a second room so now it's a 2/1 My question is should I buy and rent or should I flip it?

But in a normal, non-rushed, regular flat square site development model, site built wins by a wide margin.A mentor of mine says this: He has been through 5 cycles of major discussions about modular/panelized housing in his long and very successful career, and each time the start of the new trend is exciting and promising, and then he says it always ends with some major breakdown in cost, such as 127K crane costs for a 3 unit project.

It is widely used today by everyone on both sides of the argument as if there is one standard definition that explains what a turnkey investment is or how turnkey companies operate.
