The house and garage are cement or cinder block.

We are talking electrical, plumbing, flooring, carpet, doors, kitchen, bathrooms, sheetrock repair, 3 40 yard dumpsters full of debris cleanup becuase the contractors were nice enough to use his property as a dumping ground from other projects, furnace, water heater, even STAIRS down to the basement/garage because they were gone.

Its a 3rd floor unit with an elevator so you don't have to troop up the stairs. 

Our building has 6 units and we inherited a lot of building problems (have already redone the roof, some plumbing, electrical and rebuilt some stairs, along with renovating some of the units).  

I've used them all and think these are the best: http://www.amazon.com/Malco-FCG2-Overlap-16-Inch-T...Don't use metal flashing at the joints; it will corrode from being in contact with the cement in the siding. 

Sometimes parks will even offer you some type of inventive to move your home to their park - cash rebate against the move cost is popular, free hookup & skirting, or free deck & stairs.

For example I would not put in a lease you are not to litter the ground with cigarette butts, shoot off bottle rockets, store stuff on common stairs,  park cars in certain areas, write harassing notes to neighbors,  these fall under quiet enjoyment and property upkeep but you need to spell it out for some people.  

That doesn't wear well stairs.  

Hello folks I'm a newer real estate investor and working on purchasing an REO with an FHA loan and bank to pay up to 3% for closing cost, buying for myself and will be renting out the down stairs apartment.

Should I get an appraisal to cement the value at this time, for future reference?
