$8k is a big number to swallow and could take a longer to get your money back then I would like to wait.Although if this MH is real property meaning that you own the land underneath too I would say that's probably a good deal.

The first step is to collect data on the property including zoning, wetland, soils, topography, utilities, perimeter survey, easements, micro/macro market info, environmental, assessment information and legal issues.

In the description page, copy what the MLS says for description, and then underneath that go 2 spaces and put..

I would greatly appreciate it if you would do your research before you attempt to discredit my posts by quoting me and putting some nonsense underneath.

Which is not just about the numbers but considers other important aspects of the property such as location, demographics, zoning, crime, soil, wetlands, flood area, red tags, condition, age, lead paint, etc.

You are all-in at 78% of value and your exit value is questionable as well.To fill in the pool, you will need to get a permit, have enginerring and soil compaction tests, and any other requirements the city/county demands.

I'm cautiously optimistic, but I realize that the economy currently rests on very unstable soil and something must be done.

Cracks in concrete are normal to some extent though usually caused by an underlying issue such as insufficient compaction of the gravel underneath or improper drainage causing excess water to get under the slab and undermine it.

We did a very steep roof that had a layer of asphalt shingles and a layer of cedar shake shingles underneath that.

Only problem I see with that strategy is that if any other country takes a tactic out of the U.S. playbook and decides to invade us for our oil...of course, there are only a handful of countries that could possibly be a major threat to us on our soil, but there are enough nukes out there in the hands of countries that would be desperate for oil that the possibility is scary...
