MLS exposure is critical.

As far as paying managers, here was one idea I came up with...set a smallish base (15k - 30k/yr plus free lot rent depending on size of park) then a $1000 bonus for any new resident they bring in to the park...as a sales commission type thing...is that way off base or does it make sense?

I have also found (with my albiet limited exposure) Real Estate to be something we both can get passionate about; from finding a deal, negotiating, to staging, gaining deep exposure to the market, and even creating a home that someone else can love.We recently attended the Summit in CO and are thankful to Josh, the Speakers, and even the attendees who were so willing to share their successes and failures and years of expertise with complete newbies.In the area of REI we really are completely new.

I'll also add that I have asked 3 pediatricians in 2 different regions about the occurrence of Lead poisoning and was able to learn of one case, in which both parents of the child worked in a battery factory where lead exposure was common.

Not sure how motivating that guru course was, hope it didn't cost much....I think you said you didn't have money, if I'm wrong we could go on, if you ahve liquid assets to cover any valid creative financing exposure, otherwise I'd suggest you look for something you can spin into a deal.

Also, I think having that added bonus to purchase a new house soon can sometimes give people the kick they need to get out there and do it.You should also be aware that there are five different types of 1031 exchange, so if the standard 45-day ID and 180-day purchase don't work for you, check out the other options.

They just increased the executives bonuses to ridiculous amounts.

The "investment specialist" is making 40% of the sale price plus bonuses (which we don't have details on).

I would have thought the opposite, that the moving parts are all located on the outside compressor, and hence there would be wear from that (along with exposure to the weather / elements outdoors) that to me lowers useful life expectancy on the compressor.

Finding a motivated seller is always a bonus, but the numbers still have to work.
