I made adjustments, and it paid off when I found great tenants for the third-floor unit.Improvements Add Up: From installing a shared washer and dryer to renovating my unit’s kitchen, every improvement added value to the property and increased its appeal.Stay Financially Savvy: Refinancing my mortgage and renting out the garage spaces were big wins that helped offset costs and improve cash flow.Expect the Unexpected: Maintenance surprises (like a flooded toilet or diagnosing strange sewer smells) are part of the journey.

From my research you cannot sell the mobile home without it being paid off since the land is financed with the home.

I think Collin is being a little tongue in cheek with the Boone's Farm comment.I work with a local, large wine store, wait for their semi-annual sales when they compound discounts and buy 2 cases of each (white & red) for the largest discount.Basically I'm setting out wine that retails for $11-12-13 that I have paid $7-8 a bottle.  

A couple of thoughts that might help.I recast a loan at a point where I had paid enough extra to allow recast (I think it was $5k over).

I would ask for 20 people who have paid that and have gotten $50k in the first six months.

The settlement yesterday I bought a house appraised for $396,000, and I paid $255,000. 

It is up to the buyer to determine their own incentive and timeline, but if the agent feels like they are just wasting time and not going to get a transaction, the buyer is likely to be back-burnered since agents only get paid when a transaction occurs.

@Nate LaBlance while @Stuart Udis has some great advice, we do NOT recommend letting an agent do your tenant screening.First off, they have a CONFLICT OF INTEREST - they don't get paid until they place a tenant.

I’m in CA also and paid cap gains on huge profits to the tune of 28%, which included CA state cap gains.

And I actually think I have as much fun finding the deals and seeing the transformation of the houses we do as I do collecting the rent checks, that it would be really hard to give that up. 2) How many of those do you have paid off, if any?
