But to date, I've just set my rents at a rate that accounts for me having to pay the water bill - and informed the residents that each year I'll increase the rent based upon my expenses (including water), so keeping the bill down helps me to help them.But one problem this could cause is if increasing the rent to cover the water bill then places your rent above the market rate.

One of my concerns is that lenders won't lend to potential buyers because it is a modular home.

I'm not sure if I'm making too much of this but my concern is that if I was the one looking for a property in the area:- I would discard the property without looking at it because the competition has higher ratings.- If I still look at it, I would discard it because why take the risk on a bad sofa when I can rent a similar property without such comment.- Once we get more great reviews, the influence of that one will reduce but we have to make sure it doesn't prevent us to get bookings in the first place!
