Trying to figure out whether Air BnB or traditional 6-month/12-month leases will produce better monthly cashflow.Very excited about this property as it's located near several Federal economic engines as well as being a 19-minute drive to both Amazon HQ2 in the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington, VA and the accompanying Amazon Warehouse in Westphalia, MD.

But it’s more likely they want an excuse so they don’t have to take any action  Secondly, as a wise BP member once said “What makes you think you’ll have the courage to invest during a recession if you lack the courage to invest during a history making economic boom?”

MHPs historically are more stable than other real estate asset classes during difficult economic times. 

I'm more concerned about jobs and that the areas where I invest continue to expand economically.

FHA-approved home appraisers will determine the value of the property, but they also must ensure that it meets HUD requirements for health and safety.

I'm also trying to figure out what would work "time" wise since my wife and I are both have careers in health care and we have small children.

One of my biggest expense as a self employed Realtor/Investor is health care.  

@Forest Williams Yes I was just referring to the overall real estate market in general from a macro economic view.  

Speaking as someone who has just a few rental houses (not a huge portfolio), I found it to be better (more economical and educational) to be your own PM until you start to really scale.Much like the advice of "you make your money on the purchase price", being your own PM makes you "get your peace of mind on your tenant" if that makes sense.It forces you to be a little more selective, and teaches you how to be a responsive and "good" landlord.Anywho... just my 2 cents.

I would think that birth rate is a factor, but only one and maybe not the biggest amongst all the other demographic factors, like immigration from other countries, migration inside the US, the general housing shortage and the complete absence of new construction of starter homes, economic changes and clutural and lifte style changes.
