That said, once it is accepted a modular is not a mobile, if there are mobiles in the same neighborhood getting similar rent as modulars or site-builts, the "rent" value is not really an argument - you just need to to a market analysis on the rent in the immediate area (neighborhood).  

I'm trying to save this kid from spending way more than he needs to to learn property management  he needs to learn but if you read my first post I'm trying to tell him to LEARN from a property manager not just run out in front of a truck.

My wife and I have "bought, fixed held for 2 years and sold" 2 properties and we recently renovated our third, the third was a townhome that we bought for 200K, put 10% down, spent close to 35k to remodel it head to toe (probably spent too much but we took on more of the projects ourselves this time).

I was previously employed as a firefighter, while my wife is a Veterinarian.We are very excited to to be in this area (great schools, multiple bases, and kind people).

Hi all,I recently invested in a simple course for doing "wholesale arbitrage," then (after attempting to co- wholesale one deal I saw on CraigsList, a bit prematurely) immediately determined that there are both smarter and easier ways to to approach this as a 'go between' the buyer and seller, so I'm now seeking experienced 'wholesale deal flip' specialists to help build and scale a related business development idea for anyone interested in taking this to another level... above what I've seen done to date, online.

I am not writing this story to brag about my success but rather to hopefully encourage those standing at base-camp afraid to to take the first step to begin the journey! 

I have an emergency savings for 1 of my properties that will cover at least 3 months of vacancy and about 3k for unexpected repairs. it seems easier to to have a savings set up instead of allocating a % from the rental income each month. is this a no No?
