One golden rule I follow,if it takes a long time to fix/replace when it breaks, don't buy a cheap one.Imagine, this thing breaks in the middle of your peak season and the people who can come out to rebuild are 2 weeks out....It takes at least a day or two to build something like this even if you are super skilled.

Congrats on investing in Ohio, it's a great market to be in, you can still find the 1% rule and tons of amazing appreciation here!

Once you go above $125k/unit you start to get into the high end areas that won't have very good rent/price ratios and are under the 1% rule mark for turnkey stuff.Neighborhood wise in the city the "East End" is where the most expensive real estate is since that's where the universities and a lot of the hospitals are located.

There are a lot of rules when it comes to buying a MH and if one thing is wrong the lender will deny the loan.Mostly pay attention to year built try and stay away from Mobile homes that are older than 20 years. 

There are several basic rules for a 1031 for identifying properties, timelines, and uses. 

HOWEVER, you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow.

I only did this because my criteria was so specific that it ruled out at least 95% of on-market properties in each city.

It's a super affordable real estate market where you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule anywhere from $120-180k purchase price.

You will buy a specific property, in a specific location, in a specific city subject to specific local rules and regulations.

Ok, but I mean is it against the rules?
