Redfin’s Housing Demand Index went from 124 in May of 2018 to 131 in September of 2019 By 2020, the real estate industry will account for 22% of commercial drone use. 

This seems like a population that could benefit from living in rental mobile home parks.Seems like you guys could set up some "Shabby" trailers on cheap vacant land somewhere at the edge of town (cheap taxes) and get the bus route to go out there to take them to work and shopping and fill a need.Sometimes people in Texas give older mobile homes away for the hauling.At $35,750 a year that's $3,000 a month Gross (with 3 deductions), they could afford to rent cheap trailers without Section-8.All you'd need is septic, electric and propane out there.A shabby rented mobile home at the edge of town is a lot better than living in the streets (supply demand),And it might cash flow attractively (with Class-D management issues of course).Just my 2 cents on this.Good Luck!
