I've provided technology consulting services to the construction and real estate industry for nearly 10 years.

One of them didn't need caulk at all but needed the siding taken off and the tar tape(not the real name) put around the new construction windows.

I am great with the construction and development side but, the creative strategies to procure financing are always a challenge that I'm working hard to improve.

Typically, the layout, flow, room size, and quality of the construction of the 20's house will be far superior.

I own several apartment buildings and I own a plumbing, HVAC and construction business.

Nearly all systems/construction are unique to MHs and I do a lot of my own maint/repairs.

For the investment vehicle to use, I was thinking of ITB which is the US Homebuilder's index ETF for house construction projects, and REZ, the residential equity (i.e. home rentals) REIT index ETF.

This loan product as currently constructed is absolutely useless to 90% of the investors out there - at least when I compare that to what the local banks are doing.

That may or may not be in the range of the median house price depending on how much new construction activity is going on in your market.

Jumping into an apartment complex without some experience under your belt may be very profitable, but you will lack the fine tuned skills that may handicap your returns while you adjust to the learning curve.Zillow's zestimate can be good too.
