You can then add uhaul and mandatory renters insurance, for next to NO out of pocket cost, to increase the value of facility by probably $1 million on an average sized facility.MHPs are great assets, but the industry has its issues, financing is always a PITA.More and more park owned homes, which makes them horizontal apartments that do not increase in value as much when you have to do major unit repairs and upgrades. owning the dirt and renting the pads not homes is IDEAL, but seems less and less how the assets are.. once you dig into that industry, it starts to have more discussions on how to get 21st century programs to get mobiles to fill your park.MHP's returns are better than apartments for sure, but there are just more hoops and challenges for those, and thus that's why returns are higher. the demand will NEVER be satisfied for affordable rentals, EVER.The way society is set-up with zoning and local government approvals, with not allowing "cheaper" or "smaller" units in their neighborhood, as to introduce "undesirables" into their city and thus decrease the property values.. its never going to change.That's also why we are looking heavily and purchased B & C apartments, its the ONLY cheap housing left, and the demand is INCREDIBLE and guess what will happen if we have a soft recession...

Hello,My Brother-In-Law's family may (only may) be able to 1031 exchange into a property that has a century old farm house on 33 acres of land.  

and its hard to give up something you worked so hard for ... so just have some one crash it... lol jk but seriously losing the car was the best thing that ever happened it made me open my eyes to what i truly want to accomplish and thats owning a twin turbo gallardo or a GTR by age 30 lol. and spending all my money on depreciating assets now isnt going to get me there. in the last 5 months ive got my real estate license and im now with century 21 americana and WITHOUT ME WORKING just my girls income we have managed to save up 6k ... aiming to buy a fourplex for xmas!

I passed the exam and joined century 21.

I have no doubt that some landlords have doubled or tripled rents this century.

Should I go for a big brokerage firm like: Keller Williams, Remax, Century 21?

Food for thought: you can meet your CoC goal and still over pay OR you can not meet your CoC goal and have the deal of the century (relative to market comps) sitting before you, and all points in between.

"The deal of the century comes along every week".

Like, you got the screamin' deal of the century kind of unlikely.General REI metrics like the 2% rule or 50% expenses DO NOT apply to California, and that is because California is more expensive than 90% of the country, and those metrics simply do not scale with higher home values.Look at this map:https://www.trulia.com/home_prices/A majority of the US is priced $150k and below.

There are a few auction companies in Baltimore that will auction a house you have under contract; Auction Brokers, Ashland auction, and Century auctions.
