A distressed property will need a "value add" to increase the value, a distressed seller can sell allowing you to profit without touching the property, but this has limitations as well as to giving a fair price and not screwing a seller.

I'm also looking for a general labor crew: someone to install toilets, lay laminate flooring, screw in odds and ends, and build a custom kitchen island.

Smaller parks screw up your expense ratios since you don't get the same economy of scale as you would a larger park, so that really hurts you on fixed price expenses like that.

Are you going to low ball the seller and screw them out of a good end deal because you want to rehab their home?

Hello everyone, not long ago I was reading a BP forum about screw ups and it was both entertaining and learning.

Once you miss one thing you are screwed!  

My question is; if you are constantly looking for new contractors because the cheap ones are always screwing up, maybe there is a correlation there.  

Clift and company screwed people and guy got arrested.

By repeating an obviously misleading if not totally incorrect assertion (obvious to those of us with enough experience to have been responsible for "screwing up" the economy) you are helping to perpetrate the myth offered by the "motivational" and guru/mentoring crowd, i.e., if you have enough motivation and the proper quickly learned "techniques", then extensive knowledge and experience relating to the specific area of interest is not necessary for success.  

You screwed the pooch on the grass, but there's no reason to put up with having a nasty tenant, either.
