People who are in the market for a home prioritized safety even over price when considering a neighborhood.There is also evidence that homes close to public transportation command higher prices.

If you focus on the following, you can probably reduce your risk and not have to worry about the area getting worse for a long time:-access to public transportation, job and population trends, rent growth, vacant housing stock in the area, quality of school districtFor example....If you're planning to invest in a town with one large major employer (say a manufacturer) and that employer goes out of business or has a mass layoff due to an economic downturn, it doesn't matter if you own single families or multifamilies......there isn't going to be anyone to rent your units or buy your property.  99% of the time, a diversified local employment base is better (or atleast one that has many employers that are downturn resistant - health care, education, government, etc.)

Modular homes are typically constructed at a manufacturing plant or facility, in 3 or more pieces, and then transported to a permanent site on a flatbed truck to be assembled on a permanent foundation.

I used to own a taxi/limousine company and literally I got 90% of my information on getting started directly from the Department of Transportation. 

There is regulation on transporting that kind of waist. 

We buy them because we need transportation and we like the specific one.

I can arrange for transportation also.Cheers,Mark
