The last thing I want as a landlord is to be sued for discrimination and walk into court and tell a jury "Y'all see, what we have he-ah is a failure to communicate...

That makes for some very interesting scenarios in places like TX, OH, PN and ND where cold oil rich farmers can trade sell their interests and use the proceeds to buy a snow free condo on Miami Beach.Likewise, mobile homes when driving down the road with a license plate are personal property.

A couple of others that I have found on YouTube, if it is available to you are Tai Lopez, PatrickBetDavid that has a daily thing plus many articles about entrepenuers, Grant Cardone that gives weekly seminars about real estate investing and he owns about 4,000 units, and he says not to buy SFH's for renting, Lance Edwards that got his start from home while having a W-2 that he hated and is now rich and teaching how to start off with small MF without any experience, and book reading from top selections by many.
