Point being, increasing rents in order to boost ROI which most newly acquired MNPO's must do in order to realize a return, disincentives the resident/tenants from doing any upgrading let alone deferred maintenance or MH replacement because they are more concerned about how to pay their rent.If you own your own MH's its even worse in that you're less inclined to put good money after bad by trying to keep old heaps up and in a rentable condition.

Cap rates have been forced down dramatically in recent years in California.  

I was wondering if anybody would like to give me some insight on some of the quickest ways to boost my credit, I will greatly appreciate any advice given.
