I have mine customized the way I want it, and I know how to do stuff in my MLS that the average Realtor probably never thought about.

The appraiser noted missing storm windows, missing kitchen cabinets, missing ceiling tiles, no appliances, some tile and carpet missing, holes in the drywall, some missing siding, and some garage items- door, siding and a hole in the wall.

In answer to Jon's question, we are not seeing the cap rate compression that apartments have been experiencing, probably due to the fact that the majority of real estate investors are scared to buy mobile home parks due to basic misconceptions about our customers and how the business model works.

I believe they just have such a high volume of listings and properties to maintain, that customer service is their first priority.

The purchase and sale should stipulate if you are just a customer of the listing broker.

To do this and be good at it, you need to know your market, must be able to value a property, need rehab knowledge and obtain an ARV, you need to know market rents, need to be aware of local customs and RE laws, contracting issues, closing procedures at least in setting things to close as needed, you need to know title requirements and how to solve issues.....in general, you really need a good basic understanding of RE.

I havn't had any trouble with my customer's (real estate investors) warranting the Goodman equipment I installed.

I just want to let everyone know my Family has been painting contractors for 100 years. I was raised around painting all my life and owned a successful painting business. If I can help anyone, FOR FREE< ask away...

@Jon Klaus, I chose to become a broker because I wanted to learn real estate from the perspective of working with customers and with the hope that I could somewhat combine the two, investing and brokering.
