Unfortunately in her art studio and much of her material is destroyed.

My thoughts are to always go with a small residential home instead of a mobile home.Mobile homes can be good for cash flow if you watch your numbers carefully and your cash flow isn't destroyed by the mobile home park's fees (a park in Rancho Mirage where my former partner now lives has increased its fees every six months for the past three years and is now up to $620/month), but mobile homes generally do not increase in value.

I have a very steady career, I know I won't destroy my own property, I know I wont vacate, I know I won't need property management.

You could insulate a tin shed and someone would buy it, especially with winter coming.In my mind, there's lots of opportunity for people who can build something, have all their money back in a year or two, and have to replace the structure in 5 - 7 years because it's completely destroyed.

If the property is occupied, be prepared to deal with angry tenants who will destroy the premises upon leaving.Not sure what state you are in, but in California....tenants have more rights then owners and they can be costly to evict or negotiate a cash for keys (if they take it).

To me, 400 sounds extremely low given that a destroyed bed frame would run you at least 200.

My tenant has some connections and found a guy who thought he could do it, but when he came to the townhouse he said he too didn't have the necessary equipment.I know I'm not savvy with repairs, but this seems odd to me that no one seems to know how to fix the issue w/o destroying my walls.

Such spending brings risk of being destroyed by tenants or never getting the value out at sale.

If they leave you will be farther ahead by not having 4 kids destroying the property.

relatively cheap to do yourself, and way better than a leaking sink destroying your cabinets or possibly getting you out of the house on a sunday.
