I didn't count with this kind of appreciation, it actually went up so fast many talk about been a mini bubble, I guess the question is. is it better to take my good fortunate and run with it, or to keep a small monthly cash flow and weather whatever the market may or may not bring, having in mind it would take at least 10 years to make the same profit off cash flow.

It seems to me that areas that have extreme weather conditions has much less potential for investing in mobile homes.

We are now set to close 1 week from today and I don't have any news on weather or not it is a go.

In that event, the investor can weather systematic calamaties, such as an across the board drop in market rents of 25% caused by a deep and prolonged economic downturn.

I heard about this economic forecast initially a year ago and have only heard the concern more frequently now.

Inflated rents can be a sign of something wrong elsewhere, and one should never forecast using inflated future values.And yes, it is a good idea to talk to several property managers for a better idea of what current markets rents are.

After going through the crash as a full-time investor, I'm not sure that I want to be there again unless/until I have a much better base of operations (positive cash-flow properties and PLENTY of cash and/or lines of credit to weather a storm).

the second question is from a property detail report. it shows the lot value and improved value to show a total cost of the house by the tax assessor. then a little further down the report it mentions the tax and weather or not there is a homestead credit and whatnot
