You want them to stay but you can only make it work if they pay the rent because you have to pay the bank.If you need to start an eviction process call an eviction company.Look at Angie's list, yelp etc. to find somebody to do the porch.If you end up evicting them put an ad on Zillow, Craigslist, Hot pads etc.Take a video and post pictures so people really see the place online before you take time to show it to them.I live in California and my property is in Florida so I flew out for 4 days and met with contractors for the window etc.

I mentioned in my last post that having a parking pad was crucial for me but what I didn’t mentioned is that I have plans to add a charging station at some point to be an added amenities for my future tenants and potentially have a vehicle stationary as an option.

.- McGowin Park developed a huge retail space in 2015 which consists of: 199,500- square-foot retail shopping center containing a future expansion area, five restaurant "pads" and 4.5 acres of outparcel development, and the west development consists of a 148,000-square-foot anchor store with an associated gas station, an 89,600-square-foot shopping center and 7.41 acres of outparcel area.

I'm not too fond of that feeling when I notice an empty pad where the unit should sit. 

Getting concrete pad and roads, electrical, sewer, water. 

I already buy land and set up new mh to sell.. but trying to get into this.Off market-8 lots 0.25 acres each. 6 lots have 1980s mh on them (3 bed)1 lot is rented (camper)1 vacant lot —-All 8 have pads, septic, water meters, and electric meters in place sewer at the street… (small industrial/commercial area)$600 per mh but they are shot. 

Some contractors are using a pressure sensitive glue with floating floors(if the warranty allows it) in stead of a pad to deaden the sound.

So 250 for monthly rents plus 100 for 2500 placement fee spread out over 24 month period)Turn cost: 3% or roughly $75-85/mo assuming $2k of repairs necessary to turn it Vacancy: 4% or roughly $100/mo assuming 1 month to locate and place tenant in 24 month term Insurance: 4% or roughly $100/mo (using one of my properties as example here)Property taxes: 9% or $225/mo (using on of my properties as examples)Capital expenditures: 3% or $75/mo (amortizating roofs, hvac, water heater, etc… over their useful lifespan)Operational expenses: 10% or $250/moSo technically 46% in total.

When analyzing Detroit, how do you pad the numbers to protect yourself from potential property crime?

There are special primers for the walls to encase the cat (or dog) smell from this--which is an option.With a floor like this, with about a million high heel divots from 1890 until yesterday, and a finish that has reached the end of its service life, the discoloration is not such a problem, if you intend to put in pet resistant carpet and padding, it will be covered.An alternative would be to sand it down and refinish it to look like a refinished floor...they never look like new because they use chemical clear coats now vs Varnish or shellac like the olden days.Even with sanding the dog stains may need to be bleached out, and may still have trace shadow that they were there.Why is it a computer nook, well it doesn't have to be.
