Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil!

Once you discover your mistake, however, you have to act, it's just what you have to do when a problem tenant does get in, and from your posts, again, IMO, you've been slow off the blocks and missed opportunities to document and support a probable eviction.Good luck, but you're a landlord, not someone who can influence a change in someone else's mental makeup.

Some of it, you aren't going to learn by driving around the block and looking at the neighborhood.My area always has a huge number of out-of-state investors.

This has been discussed at length here recently:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/52335-deduction-of-interest-on-home-mortgage-on-the-chopping-block-

House next door is on MLS for $140k (on smaller lot), same block one house sold this year for $117k.

If buyers understand the complications and road blocks placed in their way, they will become more agreeable to alternative methods to meet their goals.

For lending purposes the tounge is generally removed, wheels and axels removed and the home is set on blocks, FHA requires it be tied down and skirted.So unless the MH is affixed to the property showing the intent to make the personal property converted, it may be viewed as personal property as to the lien.As for the liens, the MH lender will remain in a first position but that lien cannot attach to the land.

Lastly, where I am, the voucher programs will not let tenants live in war zones where there are drug dealers on the corner and board ups on the block.

Rest of house is concrete block, but the addition looks more like a manufactured house in terms of materials.
