After 1976 trailers were considered mobile homes and standards were upgraded.

Depending on the construction, you have to do major upgrades on electric, plan for plumbing for apartments which may not be permitted in the area for the sewer or septic.

It’s worth calculating the total investment (purchase price + wiring replacement) and comparing it to what the property could yield after the upgrade.

After buying these new rentals, he will still have about $90k in cash to spend on upgrades and furnishings.

@Roberta Allen - i purchased with the upgrades.

Hi BP, i’m curious if anyone has moved an electrical meter without upgrading service. i recently upgraded a meter and was forced to move it to a new location however now i can’t pass inspection because the service enters the building before the meter (only good route to get to new meter was indoors) i really want to avoid a new electrical drophas anyone found a way to enter the building before metering?

We give our proven tenants some slack when they are upgrading since we already have a proven record with them.

Looking to upgrade my game and speed is of the essence.

Things wear out over time, require updating, upgrading, replacement etc..

The neighbors saw the STRs in the neighborhood as a huge upgrade over what had been there (run-down, neglected old houses turned into the best in the area)...
