I also am spinning back up a previously successful meetup group down here in the area. we have our first meeting of the year on a rooftop deck in downtown Olympia.

I refer to rotten floor joices, underlays, previously installed new shingles over rotten decking, ETC is all ugly stuff to me.

It was a 7200 sf home with pool, deck, tennis court, 14 horse stables, ranch house, and multiple riding arenas complete with a creek running through the property.

I recently received an application from a potential tenant, who wants the following:(1) Rent for three years (maximum allowed by my state) and pay the first year up front(2) The first right of refusal to purchase the property should I decide to sell(3) Ppermission at their sole cost and expense to repair drywall, paint, replace carpet, seal deck and install a hot tubThis the first time I have such a potential tenant.

. $33,000 - lot purchase price$6,000 - 2010 3 bed 2 bath manufactured home$3,000 - transportation $11,000 - set up costs (includes running city utilities to the home, decking, skirting, foundation)$6,000 - repair costs$5,000 - misc$64,000 all inRecent comps show we can sell for $140,000. 

Last i checked it runs around $15k to transport and build foundations/ strapping for a mobile home, then steps or an entry deck. @ $60k that is $157 a square foot!

I build decks, replace a random door, fix a window, mow a few properties... that kind of maintenance stuff.

I found out my tenants lied when I got the call from my property manager telling me that the tenants burned down the house with their cigarette after smoking on the deck and then went to bed.

There was an issue with a fan blade.

You can work it using carbide saw blades.
