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.

In my experience, an owner would tell me (the manufacturer / dealer) long before telling his realtor or attorney!

That would then be combined with $2-5 mil leverage to purchase a few medium sized multifamily or manufactured housing communities.

The tract I'm looking into is zoned R-MH (Residential-manufactured home).

With the lower CDN dollar manufacturing is picking  up (slowly).
