Ive grown up around real estate all my life (lawn-care, make-readies, evictions, ect.), and ready to start creating my own investments.

The deal breaker is always an artificially high ARV.

Usually, my "landscaping" work is basically to of course cut the lawn including edging and trimming as well as using some weed killer on the entire lawn so its not full of weeds and stuff, then usually my "landscaping" is some mulch and some various brightly colored perennials from Home Depot or one of the local garden centers and that's about it, other than one house.

I'm thankful he left when we told him to, the worst thing I think (besides not mowing the lawn for the 5 months he was there, and leaving piles of garbage) would be this: a huge industrial sized eye bolt used as the center support for the drapes, not sure if he was hanging iron curtains or what.

People that actually know how to change a light bulb, paint a fence or run, repair and put gas in a lawn mower have long since left.

My background of engineering along with an entrepreneurial bone in my body (starting & running a lawn care service for 9 years) has had me on a search to find a good way to take hold of my family's financial future.  

In 2013, after saving from that deal, and saving some from tax returns and saving from a small lawn care business that I have, I was able to buy 12 homes all in the same MHP.

Currently, has livestock on property that is "mowing the lawn" for a price.  

I can feel the dry sunshine hitting that lawn.
