Hi BP community,I’m looking for perspective from investors who have successfully deployed capital in today’s environment.Current Position:$300,000+ in liquid capital ready to invest6 rental properties that I self-managePortfolio generates 20%+ annual ROI in cash flowOngoing time commitment is under 1 hour per weekI own and run a full time business outside of real estate, so time commitment would be ideally be minimal.Most of my properties were acquired 6–9 years ago and met (or exceeded) the 1% rule at purchase.

I need some advice with how I might consider handing a tough situation (for me at least) with existing second floor tenants.

The more I dig in, the more I realize how much nuance there is in this asset class — and how little high‑quality information exists compared to multifamily, self‑storage, or MHPs.I’ve learned a lot from operators who are willing to share what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and I’d love to connect with more people who are actively running parks, developing them, or expanding portfolios.If you’re an RV park owner, operator, or someone who’s built one from scratch, I’d appreciate the chance to compare notes.

Over the past few years, I’ve been intentionally studying real estate through books, podcasts, and hands-on learning, and I’m committed to building a solid foundation before scaling.I currently own one rental property, which has helped me gain practical experience with ownership, tenants, and cash flow.

The fact that the building already exists and was historically used as a workshop helps from a use/history standpoint, but converting it into a separate rental unit is usually where things get tricky.

What's suppose to happen is that the Seller buys a title commitment for the Buyer - and then you, as the Buyer, have one issued to the lender. 

Early conversations give you optionality without committing you to anything.As for timing the 5 year Treasury, even if it drifts lower over the next couple of months, the spread is often the larger and less flexible component.

You’re spreading revenue across nightly, weekly, monthly, and seasonal stays — plus cabins, glamping, and ancillary income.That’s why I’ve committed to this space.I’m developing a phased campground now, and the more I build, the more I see how much opportunity exists for people who understand both the real estate and the operational side.I’m curious to hear from others who’ve been in this world:If you’ve owned, operated, or invested in campgrounds or RV parks —what ended up being the real driver of returns for you?

@Greg SaiaTotally agree, the risk that worries me isn’t the stuff you can quantify, it’s the discretionary space that widens once you’re committed and can’t reshape the deal anymore.

For example, my colleague bought a great duplex in Ohio with an existing tenant....and they turned out to be completely unsuitable, doing considerable property damage before finally being evicted.
