@Scott Taylor  the manufactured homes laws are federal.. so they apply in each state although some jurisdictions may have further limitations on a design and build that preclude those.Like in Charleston were I am building in fill there is a project called Hunley waters.

My sister does not declare depreciation on her rental because she is "as good or better at filling out the taxes as most CPAs" and "the government always gets paid."

Finding a need and filling it is only one side of the picture.

They have a form you can fill out to show this.2.  

My luck would that normal judge would be on vaction when I went to court and the fill in judge would hammer me.

Maybe find out the general trend of where the tenants work to see if your able to fill vacancies from other cities, including Spartanburg.

I haven't done this yet because I'm still searching for my first deal, but here's what I'm going to do when I find one.I certainly would ask for minimum 1 year operating expenses statement, and rent roll from the seller.You also want to get what's called an Estoppel agreement filled out from each of the tenants.

In my opinion, Newark will be the next with Jersey City filling up quickly.

There are steps and forms to fill out and turn in and you need to do it granting them enough time to respond properly.  

We take the time to fill them out as accurately as possible so we pretty much know what we are spending.
