I still have a W2 (Frequent travel...) so self-management isn't my plan for now.I also have a couple of pieces of property in North Georgia that I would like to build out with a small single-family home or even a manufactured home.

This creates more turn and more frequent turn on the property for tenants in and out. 

These are the most expensive parts to repair and most frequent to break.

Ensure you can use Zelle with that bank if you plan to pay contractors frequently. 

Over time, that means your property is not only paying for itself but also growing in value and helping you build financial freedom.Mobile home investments, on the other hand, come with several challenges:Depreciation: The structure itself loses value each year, unlike a house that appreciates.Tenant turnover: Mobile home tenants tend to move more frequently, impacting stability.Financing hurdles: Loans for mobile homes often have higher interest rates and shorter terms.Maintenance costs: You’re responsible for upkeep on both the home and the land, and replacement costs can add up.While it’s possible to make money renting mobile homes, it typically requires owning the land outright, buying units in bulk, or operating at a scale that offsets those drawbacks.

I work with property managers every day and frequently get late paid.

Give updates on properties you’ve looked at or analyzed to keep your audience engaged, so when they stumble upon a potential situation, you are the first one they think of.Good luck!

In Bham, focus where days‑on‑market are tight and investor trades are frequent; test Gardendale/Fultondale, plus pockets around Eastwood, Irondale, Hoover entry points, and Titusville/West End only if you have A‑level contractors and multiple exits.
