I’m here because I am a real estate investor looking to be in a community with like minded people.

People think that's even different for investors...the fact is, it isn't.

Often times when people put manufactured home on lots they sell the manufactured home itself but keep the land and rent the land to the home owner. 

I’ve seen many people get creative offering many projects like car washes, propane, u haul rentals, food, etc.

Even in a mediocre market, if you have a great agent and a great PM, you will outperform a great market with a mediocre PM and agent.That's also why I think it makes no sense to invest in 17 different markets: you don't know much about any of them, you have to build a network of people in every market, the law is different in every State and it's physically/economically impossible to visit any. (1-4 units anyway, large commercial is different). 

I just started in that market (nothing bought yet but actively seeking my first one now) A few of the people I will mention have already posted here but I will mention them and I believe they can be of great help to you.

Common sense from most people would be to pay off the credit card, and maybe pay down the car.

They generally don't want people to feel taken advantage of dealing with someone who has training without realizing it. 3.

In 2021 and early 2022, you saw a lot of people just like yourself getting excited about real estate and capitalizing on the "easy money" in the economy and investor desire to get into real estate.  

From all I read, that's the natural evolution of people's RE investment journeys.
