How To Retire On Just One Mobile Home Park Deal

How RV Parks Are A Better Investment Than Single Family Homes - And A Whole Lot More Fun, Too.
When most people think of investing in real estate, they always think of single-family homes.

A zero down single-family home deal is traditionally one in a floodplain, next to a lead smelter and behind a sewage treatment plant. That’s because there is plentiful financing for single-family homes, so any decent deal can qualify for some type of traditional financing.
