That's such a crazy experience, hard to believe people want to abuse a situation like that so much.

@Curtis Waters  I know wholesalers don't want to hear thisbut Oregon just made selling or trading in equitable interest  a event that needs a licensed broker to handle.. if you do this your selling RE without a license and you will get a cease and desist .. they are nice the first time.. but violate it again and your in for some pretty heavy troubleand I think many states are starting to follow suit because of the abuse that is done by beginners and others that are just slimy operators .. those ruin it for others.simple way to solve this is to have your transactional funding in place or figure out how to come into title.

Both times I've rolled utilities into the rent, the tenants have abused it.

I need a phone for these types of abuses and environments, my old flip phone has taken a beating and there is nothing wrong with it, it works fine.I'm interested in that Iphone or whatever, to watch weather radar and any location/position system out there as well as making calls.Any app suggestions or armor?

Mobile homes have higher than average maintenance costs due to both quality of materials and tenant abuse and, if in a land lease community, lot fees cut into cash flow.  

What you refuse to see is the workstaff and the elderly being kicked out of their rental homes because investors buy the home and triple the rent, I've seen an 83 year old woman simply thrown out onto the street, I've seen a single father thrown out onto the street, and another family I am acquainted with thrown out because their rent wasn't profitable enough, and these buyers are abusing landlord tenant laws because they know tenants most likely will not do anything about their abuse, such as kicking them out before the lease is up, turning off their utilities, etc. 

Those are slumlords that ignore repeated warnings and fines or landlords that sexually harass their renters.You want to stay out of court?

These people and their attorney are merely abusing the system.

I'm all about preserving affordable units, but not at all about supporting under the table work and abuse of taxpayer dollars.

I like the idea of "over-engineering" rentals so that it can withstand the abuse tenants will undoubtedly subject it to.
