I'm excited to continously learn, network and make new friends as I embark on my new real estate investing journey.

At least of what comes on market, every listing is negative cash flow and competition is simply betting on appreciation.

You just gave me valuable insight that I will use to analyze my markets and start my rei journey.

I'm not going to poo poo something I've never done.... but my bet is you'd get more out of going to the @Joe Fairless meet up the last tuesday of every month in Cincy... or your own local meetup. 

You’re best bet is to work with your cpa to make the transfer and your attorney to draw the recourse / 1st position papers for your relatives.

The seller can grant you permission to submit plans for approval so you don't have to close on the property to go through the entitlement process (see what I mean--I bet the county didn't tell you that--they give out bad info all the time). 

I'm interested in starting my REI journey there because I am familiar with the area and have a lot of family there.

BUT, The properties there haven’t appreciated much over the past 20 years I’m just curious what’s the better bet for us just getting started?

I am just beginning my learning journey about MHP’s, and am sold on the idea.  

Got to think there are safer bets out there.. and it really depends on your financial situation and your stress meter some folks would stress out and lose sleep, others this is just water off a ducks back..
