That carpet tho bro lol.

.-- The carpet was nasty and walls unpainted and chipping.- The bathroom flooring was covered in mold and needed to be replaced.- The kitchen sink was unsecured and fell into the kitchen cabinet.- My insurance was cancelled until I fixed roof issues.- Debris littered the recently occupied unit, the basement, and all over the back yard.As mentioned, we had an initial video walk through before the contract to purchase.

If you are just painting and replacing carpet, you still need to move into the home within 60 days of buying. 

No PM, we manage at a distance with a solid cleaner and handyman. 

You hired cleaners to clean the unit between tenants?

I am in the market for replacing my carpet and the cost for carpeting 1,100 SF is $8,000.  

Paint and carpet are tough enough to organize remotely.

For the minor stain, I would probably get in touch with the cleaner to confirm whether it was there before and/or to correct the issue but again your property manager should probably be doing that. 

You can look at a mobile home and see it as an easy rental with new carpet, trim and some paint but there are other bigger uglier expenses that can come up.Roof Replacement, soft floors (water damage) in kitchens and bathrooms- most floors are particle board, exterior door replacement (special order), underbelly insulation falling, bad hot water tanks with rotten floor underneath (real joy), bad windows (water again), bad bloated siding (water), water damaged base frame around perimeter of home, cracked tubs (special orders) and frozen pipes (Good luck finding a plumber to come work on a mobile home- they do not exist). 

We do some cosmetic improvements to bring homes to our standard, typically carpet and paint, upgrade lighting etc.
