Food for thought...I think @Jay Hinrichs gave you some great advice about HML since it is the closest to the skill sets you have honed over 28yrs.

Success is a daily practice.

If the tenant stays beyond the scheduled move-out date, I charge them 3x the normal rent rate, prorated daily through the day of departure. on a $2,000 rental, that would be $200 per day for ten days = $2,000. 

I ask because 6 figures plus goes A LOT farther in midwest markets like Indianapolis and Cincinnati where there are cheap flights to NYC on a daily basis. 

Food for thought.

Also, there are cases where the expenses will be higher, particularly in an RV park that has a large amenity package and daily RV traffic.

You can order food at Loyal Legion and they'll deliver upstairs.

But, also don't let these things prevent you from taking action and making an investment.The biggest piece of advice is to take solid action on a DAILY basis.If you like having roommates, buy a house and get roommates.

We pay $1000 plus utilities (about $500/month), house insurance ($240 month) and I pay for her monthly food and medications ($100/month).
