Alexander Cabrera If you are trying to create a lifestyle in which your passive income covers your expenses on a monthly basis, I would stick with the 30-year fixed.

Buyer," would be pretty tough to prove is a fraudulent statement in court.From the totally sucker-punch "gotcha" statement from the seller about the tenants true status and why they decided to stick you with the property, my spidy sense says, "seller and tenants could have been in cahoots".These bottom feeders punked you. 

Detroit, of all places, is making a big comeback in a small portion of the city, near downtown.Since you are already in Cleveland, I'd stick to that region, because it will create some efficiencies to be in one location. 

Welcome to the investing side... stick with it and you will go far!!

@Doug HancockWhile you can 1031 into OZ Fund - assuming you stick within the timelines required by 1031, keep in mind the OZ rules that require one to put in (in addition to Cap Gain) an equal or greater amount for the re-development). 

Build a crew, or stick with subs.

Both stick built.

I know mobile homes will depreciate over time unlike stick built houses but there are people that invest in mobile home parks (Brandon Turner) and have been successful.
