Cash flow keeps the lights on until you get there!

We try to warn owners that an agent getting a commission for finding a tenant is fine, but having that same agent do the screening is a MAJOR conflict of interest. 

I have a tenant that wants to remove a light fixture and install a ceiling fan.we told them upon move out as long as everything would be the same as move in.So they remove the large light fixture and installed a ceiling fan.

If you can see light, chances are that you will have to replace the seals.Some mobile homes tend to have only single-pane windows, so be sure that the functionality of the windows checks out and that everything can close and lock properly.Make sure the doors and windows close properly, too, during your mobile home inspection.

Make sure up date light outlets and switches as well as door hinges and handles.

After 3-5 years on average you have to expect a few things to do and we also take the opportunity to do some upgrades.The range is wide: we just had a tenant move out after 10 years and they left the home in great condition, but had to replace 2 vinyl windows that had broken thermo seals, replace the kitchen vinly floor with LVP and upgrade some of the light fixtures.

Seller seems to think the vacant pads are worth very little, and of the 1.2M paid, most of that goes towards the income producing pads (with homes on them)...because the "CAP rate could not apply to vacant lots".Does anyone with appraisal experience can shed some light on this?

What warnings or encouragements would you offer us.
