Thanks Julian, the owner/ builder was a contractor during his career  and I feel confident he assembled the duplexes according to code, but I will ask him about it since that is a good point when dealing in rural areas.

I would encourage you to assemble the docs from this site-application forms, leases etc.

Due to all the tariffs and government sanctions it may be more cost effective for these foreign investors to use their properties for production and assembly. 

The dealer says his mover charges $500 just to give the estimate....The house is already assembled as a display house so it need to be deconstructed,moved and reconstructed.

I am looking to learn as much as possible and assemble a team so that I can invest out of state in the Connecticut market by the end of this year.Some background on me: I am 25 and currently operate a Social Media Management company where I build my client's Social Media accounts.

Our team is assembled and we have an entity formed.

I played around with some of the ways of looking at value in the Introduction to Real Estate Analysis article by J Scott, but whenever I think of an offer I get worried I am either insulting him or giving away all my hard work (3 years of time assembling lots and getting it through city approvals, and serving as an uncompensated GC for net zero energy certification and most of the site work).

I don’t think appreciation is as good a stick built and the way they are assemblied together makes them less desirable and prone to repair on the floor entry ways according to my contractor .

-Get a great mentor 
-read a lot / listen to podcasts 
-do research on different areas 
-call around and talk to different real estate agents and property management companies in different areas to get some more info 
-assemble a great team!

I seem to recall there was stuff like a 24 hour on site manager required at all complexes (crazy and would put most small folks out of business) and a no income source rule that would force all but the higher end rentals into Section 8 whether they even understood it or were aiming for it (classic big penalty, stigma and lawsuit for violations).....I mentioned the small time folks may not all be interested in Section 8 or set up to participate and handle that market.Oddly, the assembly's goal was more housing, better managed housing, more affordable housing.
