I bought water based KILZ from HD upon the paint specialist's recommendation.I've doused the cockroach stains with full strength white vinegar to help disinfect.

Also, make sure that they put some kind of sealer or water proof stain on the deck.  

I was confused and offered to pay for the closing costs and even water and taxes.  

Current rent $950 - I pay their water ($50 a month).  

I don’t want to be bothered with a $5 toilet leak, but I do want to be bothered about a $300 water heater or a $2,000 furnace replacement.I review every statement and every expense/income that I receive.

There are 9 Mobile Homes which are mostly 1990s, and only 4 are currently rented for a total of $2650/mo, 3 vacant,the remaining 2 need to be repaired, and the last pad is vacant. 3.4 Acres, city water (master meter), septic tank, and individual electric.The deal financing was $200k, $30k down, 6% interest, for 10 years.I know the unofficial formula is lot rent x # of units x 12 x .6(owner pays utilities) or .7(tenant pays utilities) x10 (CAP). then you add in the wholesale price of the mobile homes to get to your priceWe are planning on renting the land and home as a package deal.

The recent water quality issues and the poor schools reinforce that.  

The original water records will have what the property was built as originally.  

I'm a newbie in the Dallas area too, trying to navigate the investing waters.

remember in 2008 when most mortgages were under water?
