Most places wont let the home owner replace load baring walls/trusses/floor joist on a investment property. 

if they wont play ball, you bail out.

That's a twist @John.In short yes.I've been informed by many other investors that even if a mobile/manu's title is surrendered and now classed as real property, it still falls under the rules.Dbls/Triples before 1976 wont finance.

thanks for the feedback, i will make sure i wont make that mistake again. 

If they are contractors , they wont do it .

Tenants are seen as uncaring of the property, the source of all behavior woes and generally horrible people.We had a vandalism problem and everybody coming to the board meetings, including other board members, would make comments that "it's probably some renter" and "I hate that these people just come in and destroy our properties and then leave a year later and nobody cares, especially not the landlord".Then, a couple of months later when the perpetrator was caught and discovered to be a homeowner, nobody apologized for their attitude, nobody had a change of heart and nobody was willing to stand up and state that they were wrong to accuse the landlords and their tenants.Landlords are generally seen as greedy, money-grubbing jerks who just allow any old rando to ruin the lives of all the innocent owner occupants.I'm exaggerating a little bit here, but not that much.The concept that you would come in as not only a landlord but (gasp!)

You not only want you other tenants to be safe but you want your house to not be destroyed and your turnover rates to be 0 or as low as possible.9.)

I know sell that one and do a 1031 into a new property.If the new property that is only 200K in price, I *wont* get to take any more depreciation since I 'used it up' in the first property.

If somebody feels like you're going to low ball them, then their guard will be up and they wont be responsive.Instead, I would encourage you to take a softer approach and try to build a little bit of rapport with the sellers to warm them up a bit. " Hi Mr.

They wont know its you and it WILL increase your property value; they don't pay your bills!
