I am 23 years old and currently a manufacturing engineer living in the Minneapolis area looking to get started in real estate investing.  

This is not to be confused with "manufactured/mobile homes", those are a different animal.

Currently looking to 'take the leap' after years of intermittent research, and finding the necessary personal means to invest properly with a focus on growth and risk mitigation over the coming years.Currently an executive for an international Tier 1 manufacturing company located in Greenville, SC, my current income stream (maintain F/T work) allows for me to venture over the line where courage and knowledge meets fear and procrastination.  

I usually buy my windows from a Manufacturer in chicago but i also use windows from a local window store on the north side of Milwaukee.

Declining job quality or quantity results in declining property prices and rent.In many parts of the US, manufacturing and similar jobs have gone away and what remains are service sector jobs.

My dad, who is no longer with us, was an avid investor, having owned a rental duplex and multiple manufactured homes that he would rent for awhile then sell at a profit.

The guy who delivered told me the manufacturer is based out of Newington, I believe Dan's countertops. 

I chose 21 manufactured homes all located within one mobile home park.

They would not be my first choice to personally invest in, and if this is what I will be doing for the next 30 or so years, then I would like to be doing something that gets me excited and is not just work.I have earned enough respect from my peers at this point to switch product types without ruffling many feathers and I am very seriously considering switching to a focus on mobile/manufactured home communities.

Me personally, I don't buy notes on manufactured housing.
