Great to have you @Shawn Jacobs.  There's plenty of room in the West Michigan water, and it's great to have another experienced person jump in to BP.  I look forward to meeting you at the meetings (or sooner)!

Hi @Mark Morris - Let me know when you're in in the area, and I'll meet up with you as well.  Thanks for making the journey!

Gary Apps is in Kalamazoo, and seems quite knowledgeable.  He's answered a couple of quick questions for me, although I have not worked with him extensively.  Give him a call. (:

If anything, I would address some alternative exit strategies for the property other than 'rent it forever.'  Mobile homes don't have the same life expectancy as 'stick built' homes, and if you aren't familiar with them you could come across a tough issue in short order.  

So, if something goes wrong with the unit, what is your next strategy?  Purchase another trailer to put on the lot?  Sell the land?  It's a good idea to have those things in place, as it may affect your pricing strategy.  For instance, if the land itself is worth more than that, you may be in great shape.  But if not, it might be a tough sell if something goes wrong.

I would recommend talking to someone who works with MHs all the time, to find out what the common issues are with units built around that time.  Good luck!

@Erin Murtagh - Definitely check out some of the investor clubs in the area. The Ann Arbor group, the Renegade Detroit Investors, and the Michigan REI Club in Troy are all worth checking out. They should be able to help you move a few steps further. Good luck!

That would likely work well for me too.  5 PM?  6 PM? Thanks!

@Mike V.  - when it you want to bring the name up, hit the @ sign, and then start typing the name with no spaces (at least three letters).

Underneath your message bar, you should see some names pop up.  Select the right one, and it should auto-fill.

Not exactly tech-support advice, but it's what I do.  (:

Welcome @Angela Hovermale !  West Michigan investing is a pretty small world, and I'm glad to see you here.  I only have one child, and give you a lot of credit loving five of them... great job!

Hi @Jaron Tibbe , there are a lot of BP people that come to that meetup, and I will be there tonight as well.  Come say hello if you're available!

Count me in as well, as long as I can swing it with my schedule.

@Josiah Swartz  - Panera is a good spot for up to 10 people, so that's probably a good bet, unless someone else has a better spot in mind?
