There are those that prefer to buy low and capture the sweat equity, and others who will have nothing to do with renovations and want something to park their money in and keep it as passive as possible. 

This was our first investment and I am officially addicted.

@Levi Bennett The casino anecdote reminds me of a friend in Texas that bought an RV park along a highway when she caught wind of a pipeline being constructed near there in rural West TX. 

Albany Park is my top pick right now.

You should find the area you like and then just wait outside in the parking lot and speak to people who live at the property.

Maybe one saw the driveway with a car parked in it covering the major cracks and the other didn't? 

Consider investing in a mobile home park or MHP syndication.  

I've passed both the state and national exam and all necessary pre-requisite classes, I'm ready to apply for my license.That being said, I cannot officially apply for my license until I find a sponsoring broker (IL rules).

We own a 4 plex in West LA with two 2-car garages and generous street parking. 

Definitely get the agreement in writing, and maybe even notarized so it's even more official.
