I am more worried about the appreciation factor between the two property types :( I am a LOT more worried about the INSIDE of the property.. tenants destroying things.. happened more than once to my mom's rentals it was horrific!!!

Plenty of mom and pops though with usually a few million to maybe 20 mil..

It's basically Pennsylvania so it's unlikely you're going to find one company that works in the Cleveland market as well as Conneaut.As for Cleveland there are 3 or 4 big dawgs & then a bunch of random mom & pop shops.

Read diy books, watch handyman youtube channels, practice on your house with mom and dads help, etc.  

My mom runs a small painting company.

She has 2 beautiful daughters, 2 dogs and 2 cats and she has been a stay at home mom for the last 3 years.

Most mom and pop accountant's know basic 1040 returns.Give them a W-2 and they will do the return.However, Partnership returns are normally much much more complex.Looking at the K-1, it looks like he is not fluent in partnership taxation.The issue is that accountant's will not turn down work that they are not familiar with because it is lost revenue to them.

So many newer investors make the mistake of getting institutional grade advice for what is really a mom and pop sized investment.

As the person who is referenced in the article repeatedly, I would like to point out the simple fact that most of the mom and pop mobile home parks in the U.S. are in terrible condition (a simple drive through will prove this out) and there are only two roads to take with these properties: 1) have new owners buy them, inject capital into them to bring them back to life, install professional management and raise the rents significantly or 2) let them fall into such disrepair that the city shuts them down or new developers buy them and bulldoze them.

My mom was still worried about us walking over there alone.
