To not get ripped off, don't front a lot of money.

And so frustrating that nearly every article in the media was biased towards the tenants' struggles and painted landlords as greedy and unsympathetic. 

The plumber’s report indicates that the leak may have been caused by an overflowing tub or sink upstairs, but the tenant in that bedroom denies any such incident.As a result, I now have substantial expenses for the plumber and restoration company, including drywall repairs, painting, texturing, and reinstalling electricals.

You can look at a mobile home and see it as an easy rental with new carpet, trim and some paint but there are other bigger uglier expenses that can come up.Roof Replacement, soft floors (water damage) in kitchens and bathrooms- most floors are particle board, exterior door replacement (special order), underbelly insulation falling, bad hot water tanks with rotten floor underneath (real joy), bad windows (water again), bad bloated siding (water), water damaged base frame around perimeter of home, cracked tubs (special orders) and frozen pipes (Good luck finding a plumber to come work on a mobile home- they do not exist). 

So its just very physiological warfare against these potential students.. sell them on futures  paint a rosy picture tug at their heartstrings get them all motivated to spend money then let the go at it..

Ah, the beauty of real estate: no matter the horrors a house has seen - satanic rituals, questionable paint choices, 1970's wallpaper - everything cleans up.Bloodstains?

All talk and rip offs no payment to the people you have your hand out to. 

There is a group of rip off people looking at newly minted millionaires to drain them dry.

If its little down or nothing down then of course this is a hard no.. this could be set up pretty easy to rip rents.

Needs gutters, full kitchen and bath, floors, paint with some drywall repair, windows, front porch and the deck on the rear is pretty poor as well.
