@Shayla JamesCongrats on the first deal, the second will be so much easier.Since the issue is time sensitive, call the local REIA club president ask them for several wholesaler referrals.Connect and find one experienced in MH who will walk through the deal with you for a piece of the profit.Good luckPaul

I do have high standards which I know will cost more and I'm fine paying for quality service, but also sensitive to repairs that take a long time, expensive turn-overs etc etc.

If you're doing very basic projects where you can fire off the same list of fixtures over and over again, then a PM is fine - you don't need a real 'business'... if you start doing very detailed, very complicated, very sensitive construction work you'll either need a design-build GC...... or.... you'll need to build a design-build company to do that work.Be very clear on this - a GOOD design-build company is NEVER going to want to become beholden to you or any other individual investor.

If you are take a longer horizon and you DRIP (reinvest the dividends) the mREIT over a 11 year period, mREITs (15.59%) will outperform S&P500 (8.63%). mREITs as interest sensitive and I believe the mortgage rates will continue to go down from here, not up in 2019.

GFCI's are convenient because they have a faster trip time and are more sensitive than circuit breakers, they will cut the power to themselves in the event of a fault, not the entire circuit.So, you had a tripped GFCI, however the circuit was still live, so all the active wires in the wall had 110v present, touch a ground and the amps start flowing, the fault tripped the breaker and all the power went out.

If the landlord has not replaced the filter lately and you are sensitive to dust allergies that can cause a problem.

****In summary, as hard money lender, or as trust deed investment providers, we have to have more of a "finger on the pulse" of the real estate downturns, as our position tends to "leverage the disaster" of a down market.Luckily, a small group of us backed off a little (not enough) when the market was puffed this last time.I'm really benefiting from the feedback and different viewpoints here on BP and I agree with your comments on Orange County, I own several rentals there.HOWEVER, I'm right in the middle of trying to make another purchase there, so it would be convenient for me if the OC real estate market wasn't quite as darn healthy as it is right now.Joffrey Long**** Where I say that trust deed investors are more sensitive and have more risk if the market declines, that depends on many factors, and there are many arguments that could be posed to contradict that.

But I have to ask, am I touching on a sensitive area?

This could be huge on time-sensitive investments and give great level of convenience.Large contribution limit of up to $57,000 (significantly higher than an IRA, which is only $6,500).

If someone is offended by the questions and take it as a personal attack, they are being too sensitive.
