You just want to make sure that you are eyes wide open or you can get yourself into trouble.

Just set your tenants on 6 month leases and update the rents twice a year if it worries you that much.But if there are more restrictions, like a city-wide proposal that only allows you to increase the rents 3% per year, be on the watch for a MAJOR retaliation from landlords city wide.Here’s the thing about business-minded people… you can’t tax them.

Here’s some of the numbers I’ve been getting:Demo: 6500 + Dumpsters (395/40yd probably need 3 40’s)Roof: 6910 (real bid, replace some sheathing, repair penetrations, repair gutter, spray entire roof with 100% silicone roofing sealant (the white stuff that’s UV reflective).Tuckpointing: 4500 (back wall of property about 5’ wide and the entire 2 stories needs tuckpointing)Plans: 5000Permits: 2000Framing: 27000 (this I think is insane, but hard to tell without knowing what walls need to be moved/reframed) What’s a good cost on framing in St.

I've purchased from foreclosure auctions in Queens before, and the margins arent that wide.

That's lower end entry...there is a wide range in Denton and there are opportunities, depending on your risk tolerance to look at higher end...in Denton County we are still undergoing strong expansion and are seeing spill over of development around the top of the lake. 

based on vast landlord experience -  I believe that is the way to go.lower rent = more calls to your rental = easy to choose the best applicant from a wide variety of applicants...Use it when you you have a vacancy longer then usual...

Details vary WIDELY from state to state, so you need to understand all the specifics for the state where the property is located.In the case of an HOA auction its likely there will be one or more mortgages that are senior to the HOA. 

No foot wide holes in the kitchen floor (one place I looked at), not gutted to studs, appliances in place, etc.

1976 is the oldest lenders will finance a mobile home and it has to be a double wide.

There is a wide range, but this is probably a safe assumption.
