That leaves Roth IRAs, but they cap how much you can invest, and you still are forced to part with your money for decades.I'd far rather put as much of my money in an appropriately designed, high cash value, whole life insurance policy, borrow out from the policy and buy real estate.

Why can't you design your own? 

Purchase price: $130,000 Cash invested: $65,000 This was formerly a 2 bed (unofficially 3 beds)/1 bath, 1137sqft house that will be converted to a 3/2 with 1214sqft, an open concept, and a beautiful new design!

When I initially walked the property I noticed that there were 4 designated covered parking spots for tenants in my property and 4 additional uncovered parking spaces.

Here is a quote I heard from Hal Elrod “Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development because success is something that you attract by the person you become”Here is my list of the top books that have made the greatest impact on me so far, and I would like to recommend:The Miracle Morning by Hal ElrodThe Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon TurnerThe Book on Managing Rental Properties by Brandon and Heather TurnerRich Dad Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiThe Compound Effect by Darren HardyBuy Rent Rehab Refinance Repeat by David GreeneMaxout your Life by Ed MylettThe Book on Tax Strategies by Amanda HanThe Five Love Languages by Gary ChapmanThe Ultimate Self-Directed IRA by Jeff AstorEnjoy, learn, and most importantly take action!!

The only other differences I'd see are hurricane windows/door, metal roof, the house designed for the coastal elements, ect. 

I agree it's an attractive area for all the reasons mentioned above.

So I am on the hunt for my first deal and after about a month with the MLS I got nada so far, a couple close ones but at the end of the day nothing.So I am looking into off market and I have designed my postcard printed em off at Staples and I am about to get ready to drop them off at perspective homes.I am wondering if it is better to make a website to help legitimize my business or is that something that can be done down the line?

we are placed right in between two other "trendy" towns that have a fair amount of tourism (although this town does not especially attract tourists the neighboring ones do) and we would be walking distance to the restaurants.I really like your thought on the mobile being 50 years old in 12 years though. good thing for me to ponder. 

We think the Chalet design is a good fit for a vacation STR.
