@Carter Buckingham If you're planning to purchase a mobile home in the community where the land is rented, you'd have to check first with the park manager and/or owner to see if you can move forward with your plan. 

The key for me was finding a good realtor, property manager and banker. 

I'm a numbers guy and am all about managing finances well.Looking forward to hearing from some of you!

We bought our first property in the Smokies in 2005 and now currently own 5 and manage about 30.We now have a lifetime income stream from the 5 properties, with modest mortgages on just two of them.  

In the next six months, I'm focused on building my wholesaling portfolio to reach a significant personal goal.

Customers book and manage everything online and we use a property manager for Q&A and handsfree management.

A monthly survey conducted by the University of Michigan that measures consumer sentiment and inflation expectations has affected yields and offered a data point for predicting Federal Reserve actions.Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)Another factor starting to gain steam in terms of affecting mortgage rates are various regional Purchasing Managers Index reports, which offer a glimpse into the health of the economy.

@Joseph Davini I'm more in the multifamily space than single-family space, we own and operate a few multifamily properties in Jacksonville but we do manage some single-family rentals as well, so I'll be speaking from that space.

I intend to house hack for my first deal and slowly build up my portfolio as I keep working as a Project Engineer for a multifamily construction company in Austin.

It’s been an exhilarating journey, and one aspect I’ve found particularly fascinating is the critical role of property management in optimizing investment returns.
