I don't make that much so the living in an RV thing really makes sense if you are looking to cut living cost to the bone.  

Now, this is not to say that all 55+ communities are manufactured home lots, but if you consider that the manufactured homes in 55+ communities are better maintained, then you can take that logic and apply it to brick and mortar.While we could elaborate on why they're better maintained, the bare bones of it boils down to the fact that people living in 55+ communities aren't as rough on the properties as are, say, families with children.

Put it wall to wall throughout the entire unit, except maybe the bathroom.I used to manage an old apartment building that was bare bones - a good price in a good neighborhood, clean, well-maintained (great manager ha ha), but mostly really tiny studios, no washer/dryers even in the building at all, showers only, no disposal - you get the picture. 

It's much, much easier and some people still do bone headed things. 

It also sounds like your management agreement with him is bare-bones. 

Just needs a power wash and some paint, needs the weeds wacked down, junk hauled off, rip out that carpet, basically cosmetic stuff - but the bones and location are good!  

So many many times that we needed pieces we had a few granite contractors that had bone yards that they were dying to get rid of these beautiful slabs that's were too small to do and entire kitchen and were just sadly sitting there looking for a home.

They allow tenants to pay late because they do not have the back bone to be business first, they set their rents below market fearing tenants will move and they do not do rent increases for the same reason.

They were con artists down to their bones and had even falsified documentation I had required for their background check. 

This will likely be an expensive research project as it might require obtaining lung tissue contaminants and matching them to the residue in your home.
