I am curious to uncover how all the rest of the investors (and agents and brokers) here feel about real estate agents and real estate agent fees in today's digital age where we have so much information that we can dig up on our owns from: county records, mortgage/liens, previous purchase prices, land values, tax histories, rent price history and the advent of online listing services and other sources of real estate wholesale listings and auction agencies online.

not in landlord friendly states, not in anti-landlord states. 

I'm estimating 500/month for capex based on other parks I own of similar size and age, but I am not sure what's holding me back from pulling the trigger.

I agree with what has been said before, this is a good age to get into RE investing and "over" is a great place to start as long as you start!

There were some States we would never set foot in due to harsh "anti-lender" laws.

I can't imagine 10x being normal no matter the area or building age/type.  

There's huge demand for this space as more people age and need these types of living environments.

Long term goal is to earn 20k per month in cash flow by age 50 and ideally 10k by age 40. 

I am wanting to start investing at a young age and I have an interest in short term and long term rentals.

I know some people are really anti-HOA, and I am not a fan myself, but it makes scheduling lawn care or relying on a tenant one last thing to worry about.
