I’ve known a lot of people who would’ve been great in this industry, who went with a big “trusted” brand and they got used up and spit out.

We have all followed the construction industry abandoning the starter home and just not building that inventory, but they have been building apartments.

I find them to be a great source of information for those working in the industry.

Mobile homes if taken care of, can last 50+ years with no issues. depending on the market, 1 bedroom mobile homes are a lot harder to fill, even with senior citizens and single people.  2 bedrooms are always better and 3 bedrooms are the industry's most sought after units. 

My experience comes from years in the ad industry placing these types of buys.

In the private lending industry, most lenders require experience with renovations before they offer a new construction loan to someone.

In what other industry would a client expect a 25% reduction in fees?

There is far too much variation in what people call "cashflow" to have a standardized profit margin here, but in general I would say that if you have accounted for industry standard and market specific vacancy, repairs, maintenance, management, taxes and insurance and you are profiting 40% after debt you're sittin' pretty!

I’ve done this for mobile home parks, self storage facilities, and multi tenant industrial park. 

But he can't compete with us on quality/warranty/service or he would be making alot more than 25.00/hr.I get it in the industry it's important to crunch and save, but as I do in my contracting I do in my real estate.
