Based on my cash flow numbers we'd be lucky to get a couple hundred/month from this place, making selling it look much more appealing.  

I'm not saying you can't find something on the MLS...but you'll look at a hundred, or more, houses probably before you find one that works. 

many or most started with only 1-2 hundred dollars cash flow per month.

My firm handles several hundred tax lien foreclosures and if you're not cracking the whip every day, some bum is letting whatever it may be sit on his desk for several weeks.

http://portlandtribune.com/sl/345184-224009-shipping-containers-get-new-lifeThis is my long time colleague  we have developed quite a few subdivisions together.. shared a few airplanes as well.. great guy... he is really into these container houses.He has a 40 acre tract where he hopes to build a few hundred of them and put them on long term leases akin to a MHP.... he will retain the land sell the box.Great guy.. and supremely proud to call him my friend  

I am building a home bigger then I normally would, in order to pocket the equity.Could use referrals to: consultants, engineers, foundation, excavating, drywall, cabinet, flooring, roofing, electrical, pretty much anyone good!

We found we had not choice but to rip out everything cabinets, base trim, all the flooring to get rid of the cat odor, and even the dumpster stunk with that stuff outside.

This will be a total strip down including the cabinets which have already been removed, acoustic ceiling, flooring, wall paneling windows, doors, interior walls, floors, appliances, (water heater will be replaced with a much smaller tankless water heater which will give us an additional 32 cubic feet (4sfx8') of living space.Above the furnace will be replaced with a sub floor heating system which will allow us an additional 32 cubic feet.

If you see pad locks on the bedrooms doors, house rules posted, the fridge and cabinets sectioned off, you know you have a room rent scenario.  

My cabinet and flooring guy at the same house was supposed to have most of the work done in December, but took off to Arizona for Christmas and didn't even get started until January!
