Thats insane the government is proposing these rules. 

You need to read the sheriff sale information carefully, or if in a county with a magistrate then read their ruling. 

Hard and fast rule for me no pools at tenant properties. 

Don't focus on a "rule of thumb" as a rookie.

I plan to never pay tax on the appreciation with the current tax rules (1031, die with step up basis, etc).Best wishesYou are way off topic.

It's just a rule of thumb, and only tells part of the story when buying a rental property.

This satisfies the rules for 1031 exchange. 

The city wants to tear the property and surrounding properties down Zillow said it’s worth 38000The city offer me 13000.I could use some adviceHard to give advice with limited information, but as a general rule, the longer you wait and the further down the line their project is the more valuable your property will be to them.Zillow (and all automatic online) estimates are very unreliable, so don't base on that.

One other thing, if SCI is so willing to buy MHP's and be the owners of them, why that every piece of paper we get (rules / regulation, leases, notices of rent increases, etc) do not have one ounce of SCI's name or signature from anyone at Sunrise Capital Investors.

Caveat Emptor is the rule of the day in these tax and foreclosure auctions.PS there is generally no do overs LOL
