Behind the sheetrock, crawl spaces, etc.I'm by no means an expert at "de-meth-ing" a home, but that seems like a cheap way to get a better idea of what you are getting into.

Not an expert as I am researching this very same thing right now.

Thank you fellows for all the insight! 

I am excited to learn from the community and provide insight as a novice investor.

@Clayton Swansen watched a very interesting podcast www.biggerpockets.com/show75that will have some very good insight on mobile home investing.

Good luck and if you need any more help or insight, let us know!!

Calling on the experts @Tim VandenToorn @Brandon Krieg @Justin Workman any wisdom or advice?

Another tip - work on learning either your local market or the market you intend to rehab/sale - be an expert in knowing what properties sell for.

Could someone who has participated in Jersey City property auctions provide some insight into the process and what it takes to succeed?
