The challenge you might be facing is financing especially with smaller parks (under $500k), very few local banks offer financing for them, and if they do, they want you to have experience or at least prove that you know what you're doing.

It will be tough to get away with using no money.

With the market the way it is, finding profitable investment properties can be tough.

All adds up that a pool is tough (maybe impossible) to obtain additional rent on long term rentals that covers the maintenance/cap expense.However, cost to add a pool is very large.  

I have signed leases and have years worth of bank statements to prove that I'm bringing in the rents (which I'm also claiming on my tax returns).

@Paul Riley Tough question because you really need both for success in REI. 

Finding deals is tough in those markets unless you're prepared to go off market. 

I also understand I could rent out a bedroom in my unit, bust just curious if I have to be there or prove I love there i.e. mail?

It is much more practical, less expensive to purchase, more profitable and easier to purchase multi-unit properties than single-family properties and I will argue and prove my statements, any day, should someone like to get into a serious debate vs. some one-like b.s. arguments.Buy 30 single-family properties, pay down the mortgage, retire and you will make a living and barely keep up with inflation..

gosh thats tough, Im sure the kids have no clue the cost of the repairs/replacements.
