You have to resist the naysayers in your life (they will eventually come around), and it definitely helps to have some luck on your side too!

How long it takes depends on how informed the tenant is and how hard they resist.

If you aren't sure you can be disciplined enough to move the increase net you'll receive in doing so, into your savings account, then arrange for it as a direct deposit (from your employer) or automatic transfer (with your bank).On another note, you're subject line was too enticing to resist, so...FHA, MULTI-UNIT PROPERTY, AND A LOW CREDIT SCORE walk into a bar… LCS is head over heels with MUP, so when MUP nods toward the bar, and asks LCS, what she’s drinking, LCS is tickled pink and responds that she’ll have a cup of humility and promptly consumes it.

Oops paint and scratch and dent appliances (oddly enough with no starches nor dents)!

Begin thinking:  As an owner, I have the right to rent, sell, paint, abuse and even burn any thing I own (yeah,  property would need to be owned free and clear).if I own it, I can manage it.Any law contrary would be an abuse of common sense and we might see another Tea Party :grin::Thinking no longer required{ yes, that's snide, satirical & couldn't resist :sigh: }

A shipping container home if properly anchored easily alleviates the problem (provided proper windows are used) of wind resistance.

Lynn, Lynn..the city of sin, you dont come out the way you went in.Sorry couldnt resist.

Sometimes you just have to follow the path of least resistance.

I would just make sure it has the nice "backing" that should be moisture resistant and provide a slight "cushion" as well.
