Currently we are just going thru the manufacturer's web sites and ordering the repairs thru them without any extended warranties.Thank you for your time!

The family has built out a big part of the Fox Valley market over the last 30-40 years with numerous large scale sub divisions, retail/commercial, land spec.

I scaled from 1K pieces to just over 11K pieces of mail monthly in the Harris and Montgomery counties.

But know this: your investing will slow down, and you won't be able to scale your Buys nearly as much as if you're successful with the first paragraph's "idea".

I have a long and empty large living room that needs something in it to give it some sense of the scale of the place.I was thinking about hiring a professional to take pictures because I don't have the equipment- DSLR camera, wide angle lens, tripod, etc..  

Do you have any experience with specific manufacturers?

In other words, do more expensive properties clear a higher dollar per door rate, or do operating expenses scale proportionally (or are repairs and CAPEX so volatile that it is hard to draw the conclusion)?

You will hear arguments on both sides but I think the general consensus is that you get two concepts with apts (especially larger apts) and that is scale and forced appreciation (value add deals only) that you can't really get w/SFRs.  

If I hear there was none  the conversation ends at that moment.The best thing any property manager can do before taking on clients is to purchase and manage their own rentals and put systems and processes in place that can be scaled to a larger portfolio of properties. 

I have my manufacturer for a modular home. i have my contractor who is excellent. now its time to find a deal and money.
