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. 

. * Make sure anything you buy in Plymouth is allowed to have student housing in it, the town has been cracking down on this and many of the downtown neighborhoods have had enough of the partying of students in residential areas etc.

But you need to know that I prefer SFHs, I buy with 30 yr mortgages, I'm conservative in calculating my expenses and I aim for properties between 70-100K in B-ish neighborhoods.  

I do not know for certain what the full scope of my long range investing plans are but the tentative direction for this property are to hold, using the rental of one of the units to help me make the note on it, build equity and become familiar with the process of rentals to see if it is a fit for me in the longer term.  

The highs are that this home is in a neighborhood where the median value is closer to 200,000.

You'll also need to find a property in a neighborhood you feel comfortable living in.

You’d have more luck looking in the East Bay but the desirability of the neighborhood declines quite a bit.
