If I have a skill, knowledge, the right contacts or or a passion that can be leveraged into potential gains, that is where my money is applied.

you'll be cash flow negative / losing money, potentially for years and years. 

If you’re feeling uneasy about the potential headaches, you might consider a local property manager who specializes in room rentals or shared housing.

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

Your photos are also dark which makes it less inviting and cozy for potential guests. 

But if you're able to figure it out and get it built, you can rent out the units and essentially BRRRR it and pull some/all of your equity out to repay your debts, yourself, and potentially keep the investment cycle going. 

@Mohamad Guene Investing in mobile homes near a university can be a profitable strategy due to affordability, high demand, and strong cash flow potential.

I want a real estate agent with a hustler's mentality, who knows the neighborhoods, studies appreciation and deal analysis already, understands short-term rentals, and is potentially looking to be a scalable partner with me.

And there are still deals here that cashflow and have appreciation potential at affordable price points. 

I am not so much worried about this year but thinking about how easily I could sell a potential property in 10-20 years.
