You can lose alot more than rents and a down payment.I would also suggest you stay away from buying in lots where the owner of the lot has trailers for sale, it's tough to compete with someone who is there all the time and steers anyone who comes to look.If you are caught up in the potential profit and want to see how hard you will end up working for it, by all means buy one and market it for a sale.

Just a heads up you may want to steer clear of that...

Since I work a lot with other investors (investor-friendly agent) how you answer these questions would lead to a half dozen others, but hopefully these two will steer you in the right direction.Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

I would like to learn which areas to hunt and which to steer away from. 

Also, tell her that on your end there is not much more you can do that you haven't already done and that if she feels threatened to either steer clear of him or to get law enforcement involved. 

Give her a shout and she'll steer you in the ways local.Dave

I asked a reasonable question to steer my response . . . 

We also include Internet and "television" (along with a flatscreen television in each lounge/living room) in our offering and just bake it all into the rent.This does not mean that we do not monitor and endeavour to control resource consumption - we are always making improvements to the building envelope; have installed LED lighting; use low-flow plumbing fixtures; have programmable thermostats and our own building monitoring system.Our objective is to provide our student tenants with a quiet, healthy accommodations complete with all the needed amenities at a cost which is less than a residence room at the university itself.In that light, @Al Williamson is steering you in the right direction - provide them with amenities not at your cost, but at a cost less than they could procure the service themselves.

I would steer clear of SolarCity and their PPA's.  

I'd steer away from that.
