Two (2) parcels in a manufactured home area, acquired through tax deeds and sold on open market with owner financing.A 2/2 condo acquired from the Forclosure action on the courthouse steps.A senior community 1/1 condo from a wholesaler.A senior community 3/2 SFR also form a wholesaler.All have proven to be profitable.

We would net $94k which is about what we put in.If we rent then our property taxes go up substantially and our total monthly cost jumps from $2900 to $3300 (PITA).
