We bought a home built in 1900, insurance water damage coverage is 10% of the dwelling limit. 

The only deal I’ve ever walked away from we determined that the entirety of two of the exterior, structural walls were significantly bowing and in the basement below them the foundation had been permanently covered so there was no way to see what it was doing.

They're being built in places like Sylmar, Panorama City, and Sun Valley.

In fact, the residents are deeply rooted - "mobile home residents are less likely to move than residents of site built houses.  

You’ve made an accusation, used it to imply that I’m covering something up, and provided not even an example, evidence, foundation, etc. for your outrageous claim.  

That experience gave me a solid foundation in property management and repairs.

Even if you have an excellent team built with plenty of trust, it's really difficult to do this without having lots of face time and rapport building. 

Check for cracks in the foundation, condition of the mechanicals, any water coming into the basement, etc. 

That's not exactly an up and coming area -- I'd research who built them - can likely find that by going to the SG County Recorded Docs site or by seeing who pulled the permits during const -- Wichita has been on a duplex building boom -- look at the tax value -- They probably have that or less in it on the build - I also doubt they were built to be quality long term -- things such as the trim/cabinets etc -- they all look like the cheapest stuff a guy could buy - if the cabinets aren't oak and there is MDF or pine trim and pre-hung doors with engineered wood jams I'd run.  2-3 yrs ago for $180k -205 or so you could buy duplexes in Maize, Kechi, Valley center all day to builders that were selling them off to investors - not worth that in that area.

Hi John,Welcome to the world of real estate investing—it sounds like you’ve got an amazing foundation to build on, even if you’re just starting out.
