Perhaps the best news for the housing industry as a whole came in the breakdown of sales, by price.Americans signed contracts to purchase 17,000 new houses in the $200,000-to-$299,999 price range last month, the most since March 2008.

Is this a common concern for other females in this industry, or even males?

@Garrett Hawk I would still take your commission as the listing agent and a regular industry standard management fee.

Modular has struggled to get away from the "manufactured home" label here in the USA but the industry is producing a product that is comparable or better in quality than site-built.

That has been a whole industry here in Seattle, for years.  

Option #6 - Invest in commercial syndications (apartments, self-storage, mobile home parks, retail, industrial).
