I don't want them nosing through my stuff, I'm not going to be home , my dog will eat them, they better not let my cat out, i'm too sick, I don't want strangers in my house...oh jeez it would would not be fun. 

The deal ended up get bought from under my nose, but maybe it's for the best.

The only downside to cramming my nose into books, listening to podcasts in my car, and watching videos at home is that I have yet to actually meet and talk to other people in real estate. 

Seems like if it's in the lease they won't feel like your nosing around in there life.

The slab fractured and one corner had settled almost two inches below grade.

Keep your nose here in BP and WORK and pray.

The good news is I feel your success is under your nose because you are already acting in the capacity of an investor the only downside is your name is not on the deed :)The good thing about mobile homes as you may of learned is people sell and move and it is cheaper cost to acquire. 

There was a little wall/dropoff where the leveling compund ended and the original floor remained so i had to use floor mortar to feather it down....still when walking on the new LVP, i can tell where the dropoff is/was.SO, next time i will 1. make the SLC more runny, 2. on a small job (500sf) ill plan to cover the entire space with the SLC so there are no transitions, and 3. the LVP with the underlayment attached seemed to work great on the portion of the floor that was on slab, but feels cheap to walk on in other areas - so next time i will most likely go with a product that allows a thick underlayment to go own underneath it.The last thing i learned was that the 1/4" gap around the borders that is recommedned is too generous as it is almost impossible to hit on the nose.

I would not recommend the Hartford market as a whole to newbie OOS investors at all: like you said there’s nobody there willing to manage them and if you do find somebody, there’s a good chance they’ll put your rent money in their arm, up their nose or in a crack pipe.

If the US real estate market takes a nose dive, I'll look at NYC and other higher priced markets.
