I have not read this particular book, but I have seen his work for Mobile Home Parks.

I know several investors that own thousands of mobile home lots, hundreds of houses, and commercial real estate and carry every thing in their own name.

I'm renovating my first mobile home.

Would the assisted living be for people that are mobile or bed ridden?

I wouldn't be invading their space or privacy in any way nor actually watching the thermostat from my phone neurotically, but could easily switch to the app once in a while to check. 

Outside of some mobile home units that I sold 10 years ago, I do not have much actual experience in real estate investing.

maybe even 12.good thought.. also you can get @tuckerMerrihews new app to spot homes that could be targets.

From Urban Institute, to Business Insider Mag, to The Economist all have same result:https://caanet.org/app/uploads/2016/02/Jan2016_Ren...This is one by "The Economist" which is a popular economy magazine:http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/...A housing/planning and urban development website:http://marketurbanism.com/2016/04/02/rent-control-...Foundation for Economic Education:https://fee.org/articles/the-case-against-rent-con...Business Insider:http://www.businessinsider.com/does-rent-control-w...CEI:https://cei.org/blog/rent-control-why-it-so-bad

We purchased another house that used to be a mobile home that was added on to until it became a 2400 square foot home on 2 acres in Queen Creek, Arizona.  

I thought I'd need a 3rd party app of some kind to do that.
