@Kenneth McCuistion It is ideal if you can answer calls live but if that is not possible and you are just starting off I would make a really friendly voice mail message saying that you return all calls and ask that they leave their name number and property address and you will get back to them as soon as you possible (and then make sure that you are doing follow ups daily when you are off your day job) maybe time block from 5-7 for those calls/appointments.As for the direct mail you can always outsource it if it is too much to do in house.

Ideally, you’d want your tenant owning the mobile homes and they pay “lot” rent.

The more rural areas are ideal for rent-to-purchase ratios (i.e. 1% rule, 2% rule, etc). 

The best thing to do is to separate all expenses into the categories that show up on schedule E and track them as you go.

Single family and multifamily properties are ideal at the moment.

Ideally, the rents cover the cost of the home, your portion of the rent, and maybe there's some money left over for pizza or tuition/books. 

So right now, while the property is owned by us as individuals, for tax purposes we would only be filling out schedule E form 1040 ?  

Typically anyone who is used to closing with investors understands that there will be some sort of financing involved but it will not adjust the ideal closing date.  

Looking for tenants in January is not ideal.
