@Brad Smith, any clue the depth of the grade beams... that'll give you an indication of how much deeper you'll have to dig (and just in case... make sure your trench isn't inline with a pier).And, if in the future you don't want to dig a trench again, consider renting a mole from the local rental yard.  

The width seems to work with most units I've researched, but the not the depth (I've found some slightly under 27.5", but I still have to account for the exhaust pipe of the dryer).

I have to give credit to BP's "Ultimate Beginners Guide" for really getting me acclimated to the Real Estate Investing world and getting some quick general knowledge on the basics with tons of links to more in depth guides, blogs, articles, etc.  

I'll send you a PM because I'd love to go a little more in-depth about this.

Hi Dan,I've always liked that title 'serial entrepreneur' it shows depth and initiative among other attributes.

I've included a few links below providing more in-depth details. 

That said I now need to research the market in more depth.

The two most common ways of doing this are to raise rents or lower operating expenses. [ I was going to give examples with numbers here, but Tom Bucaceck has an in-depth explanation in a BP blog post https://www.biggerpockets.com/articles/924-underst... ]Hope that helps!

I havent had a chance to go in depth in the market value yet, but it seems me by my quick look at the market that its currently underperforming, that the prices will fall more until chinas econony settles and the oil prices will increase.

I'll shoot you a PM and we can talk more in-depth there.
