@Jeff Schechter mostly rents ready in A or B+ neighborhoods.

Some are very specialized, like WPG (malls in B & C cities) or NXRT (apartments in B and C neighborhoods) or REITs that are self-storage facilities, medical tenants, or cloud data centers. 

The rental apt. is pretty unique (3 beds, 3 baths, 2 of which are on suites) with a private rear deck in a nice residential neighborhood, so I don't think a locked door will deter tenants. 

@Raj Kamaria - I think all of those offer the first meeting free, so you should go check them out and see what one you fit into. 

If you don't mind, I'm going to share with you a step-by-step guide that commercial brokers in NYC like myself would use:1) Check market demands: Before anything, you'd need to find sales and rentals reports for your neighborhood and check the current inventory.

Doesn't matter who manages it, if the asset is in a D class neighborhood it will be riddled with the headaches of that tenant base.

Would any of you be willing to share your mobile home success stories with us, and how they fit into your portfolio? 

With a value of 95K and rents at only $800 there is next to no cash flow which is not uncommon for SFHs.Combining negligible appreciation with very low cash flow makes this a undesirable income investment property.Let your father sell it and do as he sees fit with the money.

And that's what you want no matter what type of property or neighborhood our rentals may be in.
