(he said he also monitors forums where he see's his name mentioned )   He would definitely know some of the "heavy hitters" in this REI game and be able to point you in the right direction.  

That's is only the reoccurring monthly costs (mortgage payment @ 75% or less LTV, lawn care, common utilities, etc).  

Hi everyone,So we have been trying to invest in Florida for the last year, while just monitoring different markets in our area and running numbers but so far nothing.

I monitor the MLS everyday and look at every MF in Hillsborough County.

One difference with the Slate card is it includes a tidy interface for monitoring FICO score (experian).I've had people recommend Home Depot for contractors, but their quotes have always been higher than what I've found elsewhere.

I was wanting to know if there is a way to try and monitor these with some type of search term in the notes , say mobile home park ( but that might bring homes up in a park)  ?  

depending on your lease agreementsif everything you desire for the tenants to follow are not in black and white with there signature then you are involved in a he said she said scenario, in reality you still areif you do not have a property manager to monitor your building then I would not be surprised they are even growing dope in ityou can raise the rent and force them out by proxy or you can get a property manager involved to oversee your placethat is part of the many problems to be faced owning off site rentalsenjoy

Some parks are on municipal water while others have their own water well and if over certain number of tenants are required to do regular monitoring/testing of water quality.Check the status of property taxes, insurance and other bills paid by the park owner.  

I am currently working at paying down some other debts and monitoring this possible decline in home prices.

Agreed that it's tricky to monitor maintenance activity of units but I still need the tenant to be accountable.
