I have a small park under contract. 4 pads2 acres (County water and septic)4 single wides (3br/2ba)Currently rented $500 each. 

    Wanna see pics of my rental that sat vacant even with the water main turned off at the meter?

When you’re done, you will want it to sell quick, so plan on pricing it in the 90-95% range of what the Comps show the ARV is.

This will allow me the financial freedom to go back to school and get the education I wasn't able to get because of my responsibility to my family.I'm in the Hoke county area and I have seen many homes posted on Realtor-com in that price range, mostly mobile home REO.

In my initial networking leap forward here I'd like to offer up my knowledge of mold remediation, fire and water damage, carpet cleaning, and general contracting.

That will be one of your bigger challenges along with slightly elevated taxes and water rates.

Sniffing for blood in the water, ie a LL they can manipulate.Even doing everything perfectly, you can still end up with a bad tenant. 

ARV is typically under $200,000 and 1,500 sf so it is hard to justify a designer in that price range.  

He said he was unwilling to move to some place by himself for a year (and we live in the Bay Area and everything around here is totally out of our range). 

You, as the owner, have to pay for grass cutting, snow removal (if you have any), many times there is only one water meter and you need to pay for the overages.
