By yourself a lunch at Wendy's or a tank of gas every month and pay it off before it's due and that'll really help.

Focus on finding GREAT deals and structuring them correctly and even if the market tanks you will be in a good position to weather the storm.

I have taken out 40 year old toilets that were built like tanks and I have seen higher end new toilets have issues after a couple years.

Get the biggest homes you can legally put on your lots.  3/2's will bring more money than 2/1's for an example, and your lot sizes and septic tank sizes will determine how large the home can be, and how many beds/baths it can have....thats how Hall Co works anyway.As the new owner, you set the new standard for park appearance, and do not renew leases for the folks who are not on board. 

Other things that may be there;Got a septic tank buried in the back yard?

Mine was a 285K SFR in Austin,lender required 25% down,cash flowing about $400 a month,granted didn't factor in vacancy and capex since it has got almost new roof,HVAC,paint,light & other fixtures,new water softener tank,etc.

For example, an old gas station may need to have the underground tanks removed... that alone can cost $20K-$30K!) 

Then the house was broken in. furnace and hot water tank stolen!

I don’t expect costs to go down until the economy tanks.  

If the stock market tanks, the PAL can liquidate the portfolio at any time to meet a margin call (Federal Reserve requirement).
