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.

One of the previous owners enclosed the back porch and the garage.  

Much of it is 50 years old and may be 900sf 2/1s with a carport, but still, the returns can be pretty good here... especially with rental rates increasing faster than values.I keep my searches close to the US41 corridor as it's easier to rent out those properties near public transportation and whatnot.

Since it’s likely not fully enclosed, the inspector will be able to see the construction and hopefully pass it.

I personally don't take the time to itemize each buying expense, but it generally amounts to a few thousand dollars:Typical Buying Costs Inspection costs ($350 - $500) - If you are just getting started, it's probably a good idea to pay for a professional inspector to perform a full property inspection to find any major issues or concerns.Closing Costs (Generally amount to $1k to 2k) Title Search & Insurance ($500) - A Title Search is performed by a Title Company to research the property records to ensure there is clean title, and no claims or liens on the property.Courier Fees ($50-$100) - Courier fees are fees to transport the closing documents .County recording fees ($50 - $100) - Recording fees are charged by the local county recording office to record the property documents in the public records.Miscellaneous Fees ($250 to $500) - There will also likely be miscellaneous processing fee/document preparation fees.Lender Points - If you're using outside funding, your lender will likely charge 2 to 3% of the Loan Value to originate the loan. 

"Check enclosed" type of mail.

_r=1&em&oref=sloginOne problem with real estate is that it is neither liquid nor transportable.

In 2000 many people saw it, they wondered how I could not having reliable transportation can come up with so many properties and owners.

It may be to costly to buy transport and set up a MH.

I have references, tools, reliable transportation(and a drivers license) and time to take on your rental maintenance or your small flip!
