1st investment on a Foreclosure of a 1 detached home in a 8 house complex in Santa Ana, Southern California, 2000sqft (larger than average for popular Southern California), built 1994, 4bd/3bt, very convenient to multiple markets, stores, one of the best I've seen, 70% Mexician population, B neighborhood. 

Other towns prohibit them because it supports a nuisance squirrel population.

You should probably check on the declination of population rate.

So you can imagine how i beat myself up about that, but better late than never.My goal is to use REI to gain financial independence and make it generational (secure).I'm really looking forward to learning from you all, and working along with as well, to increase our collective lot.BTW: BP membership is close to Barbados' population (286k)

A third of your population or so are students so I’m sure there’s a huge demand for student rentals

Now I am talking larger MSAs here not some little 30k population mid west town.. were median price range maybe under 100k.  

You can basically forget it long term when the coal has to be transported by barge.The population of Crystal River was estimated at 4347 in 1999. 

Overall, a rising tide lifts all boats, and Phoenix lead the nation in population growth last year.

It's possible, but could turn out to be harder than you expected.As the previous post mentioned, you also should research the area and associated metro to be sure that median home prices are well above mobile home prices, two and three bedroom apartment rents are well above what the park charges, there is a good size population, the housing vacancy rates in the area are no more than the national average, the household income is decent, and the unemployment rate is around the national average or less.Having a Wal-Mart within 5-10 miles is a good indication the area can support the park.

BUT, just like every other deal, you've got to do it the right way and cater to the population that will live in that area.
