@Benjamin Barredo I have a lady from the Philippines who is a VA and also trains cold callers to do calls for real estate investors.

Is the tenant doing something to attract the ants? 

@Nick Maugeri no bank will offer a LOC on the properties (even with very attractive LTV) bc they don’t want 2nd position.

My plan is to hold onto it as a rental property, targeting Section 8 tenants, as the rental income is quite attractive at nearly $1,500 per month.Here's the challenge: The property's purchase price and labor is below $40,000, and I'm uncertain about my ability to secure a traditional mortgage for a property at this price point.

I’m fortunate to have found a very nice lady whose willing to mentor me.

I would evaluate the decision to add a balcony based on economics and the ability to attract good tenants alone.

Do I gamble my last dime on a single-family cash cow, or do I roll the dice on a flip and hope Lady Luck is on my side?

Additionally, our efficient project management and marketing strategies ensured the property was presented attractively to potential buyers.

Not junky mobiles, new, nice, sturdy and attractive.

On the other hand, probably lower property costs there vs other locations.We've looked at a couple locations on the OR coast, but as a WA resident adding the OR income taxes have made other locations more attractive for us.
