If you focus on the following, you can probably reduce your risk and not have to worry about the area getting worse for a long time:-access to public transportation, job and population trends, rent growth, vacant housing stock in the area, quality of school districtFor example....If you're planning to invest in a town with one large major employer (say a manufacturer) and that employer goes out of business or has a mass layoff due to an economic downturn, it doesn't matter if you own single families or multifamilies......there isn't going to be anyone to rent your units or buy your property.  99% of the time, a diversified local employment base is better (or atleast one that has many employers that are downturn resistant - health care, education, government, etc.) 

If you are using the vehicle to make deliveries or transport tools and materials to a construction site. 2.

Modular homes are typically constructed at a manufacturing plant or facility, in 3 or more pieces, and then transported to a permanent site on a flatbed truck to be assembled on a permanent foundation.

I used to own a taxi/limousine company and literally I got 90% of my information on getting started directly from the Department of Transportation. 

@David Bateman - I am intrigued about exp realty but am wondering how that works - since I have all the rules fresh in my mind :) ...I remember that under Florida rules a sales associate or broker associate may not have an independent office of his own, must register under the broker, and can only work at the broker's office- which "shall consist of at least one enclosed room in a building of stationary construction

There is regulation on transporting that kind of waist. 

We buy them because we need transportation and we like the specific one.

For example, if someone enclosed a patio, even if they completely finished it but didn't heat or cool it, it could not be considered in the total square footage of the hosue.

I can arrange for transportation also.Cheers,Mark

Also, Bakersfield has increased value year over year, and currently is diversifying its careers paths from oil and ag to transportation and logistics as well as our staples.
