I'm debating whether to go stainless steel appliances with laminate counters, or get the granite counters and do white appliances (white would go better with color scheme of paint job than black)The property is a two ...

Make sure the equipment qouted is all the same size, so you are comparing apples to apples.

Apples and oranges and different tax treatment.

Pre-qualificationIf you are too "Poor" to buy what you want in a neighborhood you are comfortable in, look at 1st time housing grants to increase your down payment amount so you can buy more house.The amount of the loan, and the amount of your down payment + grant will dictate a particular MAX purchase price for you.Be sure to allow for closing cost and loan costs in your calculations.Once you have that MAX dollar amount you can spend start looking at what you can afford in different neighborhoods.For instance in some cities you might find a Class D neighborhood 4 plex in good shape for the same price as a Class B neighborhood duplex.The Class D place might give you more cash flow than the Class B too, [BUT]Maybe your chance of getting robbed or shot or carjacked in the Class D neighborhood might be greater than the Class B neighborhood (so factor things like that in too).The question is still which should you buy--First whittle it down to specific properties the Bank will let you Afford--then make an apples to Oranges comparison as best you can.

They simply cannot be compared on an apples-to-apples basis to single family homes, especially if you have tenants who don’t treat them well.I often see listing agents using the value of all the park-owned MHs rental income for a sales price on a park without considering the maintenance involved.

I think this is a really interesting subject considering Apples current situation.If a person Apple has seen unlikeable in some way they could easily of changed their views of it...if not for the product some ppl could be intrigued that the Company backs its users & be willing to give Apple a try.  

Additionally, we clearly let them know that we are growing a business and want them to be part of that growth.Naturally, you are going to get some bad apples and you just have to deal with them and treat the good ones light gold.
