She could have bought a second home as a rental, but with interest rates at 5%-she'd make more money keeping her money in the bank and not have to deal with tenants, so that is what she did.

The "guy" in charge, was extremely concerned about the PRIVACY of the prospective tenants, wanting to keep as much info away from me as possible.

I will offer them a rebate of $ 500-600 per month during the construction.I want to keep them but at the same time I cannot offer what they asked.ANY SUGGESTIONS?   

I am considering whether to keep investing in similar rural areas with populations below 15,000 or to transition to purchasing properties in larger cities.

I think not.But a golf cart with less safety features, uncapable of traveling speed limits on roads, no doors, children often traveling without car seats or boosters (that people spend hundreds of dollars on to keep their kids safe in the car), kids/teens/drunks driving illegally, etc.It's providing a vehicle for use, even if it is a "golf cart."

lol  As was said, Century old houses are a "chore" to keep up with.

Some niches allow you to scale but you get negative momentum as you grow.My niche for the last few years has been small and medium-sized mobile home parks, I don't like RVs very much, I like to keep it simple.What other niches within the manufactured home space are you guys finding success?

Also cash returns tend to overstate the real return because not all depreciation is "paper"; depreciation is supposed to (and to some extent does) proxy that the property gets worn-out after a while and you'll need to spend additional money at some point on capital improvements to keep it in shape to be rented-out.Also how are you only putting 6.7% equity down?

In addition, get in touch with any real estate expert or anyone you trust willing to help in the process.To keep abreast of market conversations, you can make use of such tools as MLS Listings, Zillow, and Redfin.

So much that I'm sharing it with anyone that is struggling to keep the right people in the right seats.
