@Mike Flora I was at J Martins last Oakland event.. and Bruce Norris did the keynote and I sat with Sean at dinner.Bruce likes SFR and half the Q and A for him was exactly that when is the crash coming and how deep will it be.his comments now were geared towards west coast but I do believe they are germane in many markets.He feels a market is not heading down until 20 to 30% or more of MLS is foreclosure acitivty or short sales and in our area that boat has sailed.. there is very little of either.He did mention though that he felt MF was to use his words " FROTHY" his statement was when he talks to other MF owners and ask them would you buy your property for what you could sell it for today or a like kind one.. it was a resounding NO.. which to him or his point was he felt it was over valued and at some risk for moving backwards.. and from my VERY limited knowledge on MF I suspect that only happens in an over build situation to many doors not enough renters and you have rental bonus wars..

When I looked at it a few things jumped out at me; it looked like a manufactured home but it was stick built, adding to the look was a 1 X 6" molding between the "skirting" and the house proper, that was painted a clashing color, it was a 2/1 but there was an 8' X 14' laundry room that was crying out to be a 1/2 bath.
