Access to financing has been my biggest issue, so I'm now considering mobile home communities instead of or in addition to single family homes.Thanks.

Then again joining a ski club with a house might be cheaper.We lost a deal in Vermont on buying a ski club house something like the boarding house Bill mentioned, we were involved prior to the house going for sale and it is a management challenge to book those rooms and have people share the common space.

Hi @Lynn James - Sorry for the challenge.

:)Your biggest issue at this point?

I would be interested in picking your brain sometime WRT challenges and opportunities you've run into locally.

The biggest red flag to me is that it only a partial parking lot.

Yes, they are rules of thumb, but I have had significantly better success on buy and holds on my houses under $75K -- as they are much easier to abide by the 2% rule, as they are are more affordable to a broader audience.My houses above that price point are the ones that have yielded the lowest overall ROI to my portfolio over the years.It is much harder to get 2% on $200K+ houses-but they may also yield the biggest appreciation when they are sold--so perhaps that should be weighted into the formula, as well.

I have a full time job and self manage about 15 units as well as extensive rehabs all at the same time, and it can get very challenging at times.

The investors challenge is the marketing campaign to find the sellers (as it always is especially in a sellers market).Good luck.

I freely provide both and will generally accompany the prospective client to the reference projects for review.One of the biggest things to remember is that beyond the hard numbers is your connection with the contractor.
