I'm new. Just looked on craigslist for MHP and found one in IN which mentioned having a license until 2020. I looked up the state and found a lot of regulations, laws and inspections. I haven't read far enough in my book I'm reading (Mobile Home Park Wealth Part 2) to see if that is a covered topic but wanted to post here and see what kinds or problems MHP owners have had dollarwise and headache wise trying to maintain their license.

This property uses well water but I haven't searched for any other things about it.

One other question about licensing, would everyone agree it's better to have city supplied services or is this a big depends on your experience as a MHP owner answer (like wells, trash, sewer plants, etc)?

I've set some limits for myself as a novice. I'd be happy to meet someone at that property who has been through major foundation problems. I'll learn from them and offer a plane ride as a trade. Interested?

 That's funny. Some of the comments on the blog, http://terriblerealestateagentphotos.com, are just humorously insightful :) Your find there in Woodland Park should be added onto that blog.

It's one picture in the listing and highly suggestive that from that one picture you're going to get your money's worth.

When I get my real estate license I hopefully won't ever be the agent that lists trash for sale. MLS is a listing service so list away but who in their right mind wants to show that? I think my agent said she would have to sign a waver to go inside. I just looked through the windows.

I was just noticing things. My agent said I should get a niche and be the go to rehabber for foundation problems. That made me laugh :)

Here's another one I actually looked at and here are the agent notes about it. Look in the red circle. The basement caved in almost a foot. If you see the word scrape and AS IS I think that's very passive-suggestive.

"Ready set go! This is your chance to own in the desirable Erie Air Park! Homes don't last and they sell fast! This one needs work! Earn your equity or scrape and build your dream home. SOLD AS-IS. Walk-out basement. Access to the air park and run way. Agents and buyers to verify taxes, zoning, HOA, SF and Schools. Don't wait or you'll miss out again!"

 It did say that and there was only 1 pic and a note that the home needed some fixing up. Some of the things I've seen for sale here are just mind-boggling.

I'm really just a new guy in real estate but I have an attitude so after looking this morning for what's new in my market area that has the keyword "investor" in it, I found this http://www.recolorado.com/homes-for-sale/12647-Cou...

I wish I had my real estate license (which I think I will get someday soon) so that I could make a comment on the property's potential for selling based on what the agent listed. I'm actually glad I can't do that in this case now but I will make what I consider appropriate offers myself so that I don't have to bother my agent so much. I must stay positive.

Send me your real deals!
