Hey @Michael AlmandI am analyzing a tool called 'Rehab Estimator' that helps you estimate rehab costs in your area and generate the statement of work (SOW) based on your selections.

So...Assuming we're considering the advantages for American's to invest in Japan, I personally think it only makes sense in a select few situations. 

I would suggest keep learning and dig deep on the one real estate strategy you selected to pursue. 

You can select the amount of the deductible, usuallyranges from $500 to $5,000.

Best of luck with selecting your market—there's a wealth of knowledge and supportive investors here to help guide you along the way.

In fact, even with my extensive experience, I choose to have all my properties professionally managed.Here's why:Tenant Selection Is CriticalThe most valuable service a property manager provides is selecting reliable tenants.

As the property manager, it concerns me that the software does not allow me to select message timing and verify content of communications that are sent directly to MY tenants.  

It’s on the rise but you just have to be selective regarding location and try to go for turnkey or keep it minimal regarding rehab  So you don’t have a nightmare story trying to manage a rehab from Out of Town. 

Do you factor them into your neighborhood selections or do these projects tend to fizzle out in Philly?

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!
