Hi, I'm new to the MH world, but have worked on many stick builts. I am a little lost on MHs as to how to evaluate an improvement and the return that can be expected from it.

Even if you could structure an AITD, your buyer pool of people comfortable with that type of deal will diminish. 

Ours was a single family and the other persons was a 2 bed condo; I think once people can't move before school starts the rental market here diminishes a lot.I didn't contact people who had looked previously because I figured if they were still looking they would see my price drop on the websites.

Long commuting times on public transportation have diminished quality of life for many middle class New Yorkers as higher real estate prices have pushed them outside of the five boroughs.

Also, we are interested in the property for a permenant residence and we like the place but it does need some work, which we are willing to do but we don't want to pay thru the nose for it as this would likely diminish the decent deal we would be getting with an REO.

Do people that have done a lot of rental property investing find there is an ideal price point at which rents vs mortgages are good and beyond, the rent income diminishes with the increased price of the property?

Everybody needs to live somewhere---you can't live in a mutual fund...Real estate will always be in demand regardless of the market circumstances...God stop making land on the 7th day (unless you live near a volcano)---you can't build a house on top of your IRA...Real Estate will benefit from diminished availability (supply) as our population expands due to natural reproduction and immigrant inflex.My vote is---well, it's pretty obvious...Regards,Scott Miller

If the fact that a DOS clause is/would be invoked if the insurance policy changes, I would walk away before potentially diminishing or even sacrificing coverage by trying to "skirt" the correct way to insure the property.

Kay H.I am not a marketing expert, but what I do know personally is that the odds of me earning passive rental income are greatly diminished if I don't invest in inquiring the rental income producing asset.
