I've recently been showing homes ranging from $800k to around $1.4m.

Market ranges widely from Boston to Blandford and everywhere in between.

Are mobile homes and manufactured homes a good idea to buy and rent out to others?  

@Nick Marsillo What towns are you looking at and whats your price range?

Looking at homes in the $225-$250k price range.

In the area similar units range from $25-50/month.

If long-term financing is available, it will be @ 50-60% LTV or lower and the rate would likely be in the 8%+ range.

The themes I read in Kyosaki's work that rang true:  Understand assets and liabilities. 

Somewhere in that range.
