Brenda,
My post neither encourage nor discouraged anyone from investing in apartments or anything else for that matter.
I wrote:
“Investing is not about the niche it is about a means of making money in a manner that is comfortable for the individual investor. That might be mobile homes today and apartements tomorrow for some. For others it may only ever be mobile homes. There is no right or wrong just whatever works for you.”
Your post is a good reminder that we have to buy for less and build in money for unexpected expenses. We cannot control the gov’t regulations, taxes or the economy but I do Not believe we should tell people NOT to invest because of these problems but rather include them along with other due diligence considerations.
