I have done also the repairing from reputed company and I paid them $2 /SF.

I just picked up a manufactured home that needs a bit of work.

And Dion and I would argue that if you don't provide a personal guaranty, #2 provides less risk because you only have $20K to lose rather than $100K.Obviously, there are other risks -- hurting your credit, hurting your reputation, etc.

There are many reputable companies with very good reputations and plenty of information for you to find as a buyer at this point.

If you build up a reputation as a Great Real Estate CPA, and that you invest too you'll probably get clients that want to do JV's with you!

I have been thinking through different ways for the past several months on how to start my path towards financial freedom; small business, stocks, manufacturing, etc...I must have thought of it all until yesterday I had the idea think about real estate.

I discovered that only 3 out of the 10 properrties have had a rental certification which is a big deal in this local municipality as the city has a reputation of requiring everything in a rental to be brought up to "current" code.

What I was referring to was the glues/adhesives that are used in the manufacturing process.

I am in favor of your recommendation.Any PM with referrals to reputable asset-based lenders would be appreciated.

I think having the inventory will really give me a lot of practice as well as help me to establish a reputation as a go-to guy for great discount properties.
