Last statistic I read is we are taking in about 60 people a day to portland. you then look at your major employers, Amazon is building or it might be done a fulfillment center, Nike has said they want to double in size and have committed to a number of new employees in there tax incentive, intel is up in the air, they are kind of struggling since they missed out on the cell phone manufacturing, I am not sure what the hospital is doing out there.

One example is that Detroit put almost all its eggs in one basket: car manufacturing.

An example of this, that isn't from the fix-n-flip world, local to me, but happening as we speak, would be all the "manufactured home duplexes" that some developer threw up in the late 1980s in Oakland (somewhere around a dozen of them exist).

Hey @Taylor Cartledge, there are a ton of manufacturers of linens so it is hard to decide which is going to work best.

Also, manufactured homes face stricter insurance rules, making traditional loans tricky.

The companies that manufacture them also work with lenders to finance them.

You need to talk to your state's manufactured housing association (MHA).

You might be able to contact the NY Manufactured Housing Association for insights on leases and evictions. * Know if rent control is a factor and if that changes your underwriting * Find out rules around Rent increases, notifications * Check to make sure your leases are compliant - if there are rent to own, make sure those are compliant * Review the code on installing homes - google ‘installing mobile homes’ in your area * Check with Code Enforcement and Zoning and make sure there are no violations.

(they may call it something different in each state, but that is the Manufactured Housing Community Association here in AZ).

Using a broker, I obtained a 30% DP, 7-year fixed loan from Manufacturers Bank, a regional lender.
