The realtor (dual agent) called me Tuesday about the new price and closing is scheduled for Thursday.

The new opportunity needs to be good enough to overcome the dual transaction costs/work.I think a question we must continually ask ourselves about any of our properties is: Is this property the highest and best place for my money?

Our single row-home in West York has (so far) had no turnover and far fewer tenant issues.At times I think I may want to take a dual-strategy approach:1) use ppty mgmt for city / Section 8 properties (Multis)2) buy SFH and small multis in surrounding areas and manage them myselfI'd be glad to discuss in greater detail...let me know!

We could create an entire thread simply related to Lender Placed Insurance or Dual Tracking or TILA/GFE not to mention Modifications or Borrower Communications or Licensing in and of themselves.  

We are DINKs (dual income, no kids), debt-free (including a paid-off primary residence), and plan to semi-retire in our early fifties.

Even in my own home, I have dual zone temperature controls for the first and second floor.

It is laid out as several small communities within one larger common community and property values seem stable and increasing - but dual HOA fees are high.

@Philip L hewitsonWhen the contractors come out walk behind and write down what they measure.Another option is to have contractor give you a materials list with price for labor and another with materials and labor.This should help to see if you can find better pricing or are their prices more competitive.If you are going to replace look at using vinyl dual panel versus aluminum because in my experience aluminum sweats/condensation.

You see Rina, Rolfe spent three days painting a picture of:1 - The perfect business (high gross margins, high barriers to future competition (quasi local monopolies), increasing demand).2 - Claimed that this perfect business counterintuitively sells for a big discount to its true value - and painted a plausible dual reason for it:a - the stigma premium - mobile homes are yucky and embarassing, therefore demand for them is lower than would be expectedb - the current set of owners of this asset class (mom and pop) are so stupid and lazy that they have priced the rents of the asset class lower than they should be compared to apartments.3 - He then masterfully executed the classic sales technique of creating a sense of urgency - saying that the current fragmentation and irrational discount-to-value of this asset class (mobile home parks) will soon expire because "mom and pop" are dying off, and will be selling out to professional investors with huge pools of capital.4 - He claimed that when this de-fragmentation occurs (the next 10 years) the discount-to-value will disappear and that the real value of the rents of mobile homes will finally be extracted through inevitable professional management.Item number 4, Rolfe must know, makes any experienced investor salivate - it's like cat nip.
