I.E. job growth, transportation, property taxes, strength of rental market, city services etc...For instance, If you @JoeVillenueve were to start looking at the Phoenix market (or any market you knew nothing about) where would you start to determine whether or not you do a 30, 60, 90, 180 day deep dive?

The downside to East Elmhurst and northern Jackson Heights is lack of transportation.

Location is not inherently bad if you get the right value on the property and have the right expectation for the property and its tenants.Being close to a highway is good for some tenants (transportation ease) and bad for others (noise, view).

The typical width for a double wide is 28' x (your choice) this is because they are transported by semi truck, anything wider requires special transport i.e. wide load chaser cars and longer transport and setting because they exceed average street/highway widths.

. - We are almost central to the city with good transport system.- good schools in the areaWhat would you do?

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.  

I think the difficult part is building a large enough home while still making it easily transportable.

Enclosed porch foundation has 3 stair-step cracks because of no gutters, ground movement.

Need to verify specifics but was just told about this pocket listing & here's what I know so far:For Sale 200 acre development for only $250K; has 130 lots (~20 lots are already developed with houses); lot size is from 0.75-1.5 acres; in Phase I of development (roads for about 40 homes are graded & graveled with electrical buried), rest of land has not been touched; owner is currently selling individual  lots from $15K - $25K (generally more expensive lots have a well & septic, cheaper lots don't); manufactured or stick-built homes allowed; restrictive covenants attached (waiting for document).Location is in a rural area in the SW; local economy is based on transportation, agriculture, energy, retirement & tourism; 3 miles from a major interstate highway; on a major shortcut between 2 interstate highways; 10 mile radius population is ~ 20K; closest city with over 100K is only 1 hour away; cost of living & living expenses are definitely on the low end, great for retirees and the cheaper than average labor.Quick overview & simple math tells me that only selling 90% of the lots at the low end of $15K is just about $1.5 million.
