In the latest group we took over, existing tenants were traumatized by a recent bed-bug infestation (thank goodness the treatment appears to have been successful).

One can is typically enough for a couple treatments for a small nest.Even if you decide to pay for it, do not lower the rent.

So I would venture that all of your examples could very easily be demonstrated to be held with the intent of productive use whether or not they generate revenue quickly or consistently throughout the year.But the RV is another story - It's not real estate so it doesn't qualify for 1031 treatment (although I do love that idea if you'll forgive me. 

Can also use craigslist to do the same thing 'we buy houses' or looking for ugly houses, neighborhood eye sores etc.

I'm curious what kind of treatment I'll get when I give a single property to a PM. 

But it surprises me that a $700K structure placed permanently on a tract of land and used for productive purposes would not qualify for 1031 treatment. 

However if you go outside of city limits then the county has more lax requirements and they are subjective about what is an MHP versus what is not - sometimes it's 4 homes, sometimes more.Most water wells can support multiple homes, it's more about the treatment equipment sizing (e.g. chlorinators, filtration systems) and ability to keep up with demand, and also regulatory requirements of water testing once you have 15+ homes - it becomes an EPA thing instead of your state DEQ. 

.)- Termite treatment- 1 dysfunctional water heaterAccording to contractor bids, there is at least $45k worth of repairs. 

Replacement costs of sewer treatment are something I would definitely need to factor in.

I'm new and I want to buy my first property for dirt cheap. how do I get past the horrible site of the inside and focus on the possibilities. I'm talking about $2000 properties. Any advice would be appreciated.
