To qualify, it is a quiet elderly community with grand old trees, full hedges, lots of greenery, good lot privacy, community pool, recreation area, and hardly a person in sight of the 100 or so units placed throughout the meandering network of roads.The unit is a '61 Travelite single wide, probably 10', maybe 12', with tongue removed, skirting, attached screened porch on slab, added on master bedroom, clean and bright finish with good lighting inside.

there is a wealth of information available for free, so I wouldn't blow my only grand on education.  

Every Sunday afternoon, you should be going to open houses in yourinvestment area and price range, until you can drive by a house, glance at it, and know within a few grand of an asking/sale price.

Right by the beach, 75 minutes to Grand Central and great downtown feel to it.

Kathleen Nguyen a double closing is a horrible waste of money for you because the closing costs would destroy your profit.You only use the double close when the profit you are charging is enormous like $40,000 or more.If you are only charging $10,000 grand for the contract assignment,you should have gotten that money in cash from an investor who had the money to pay you immediately before the end of escrow.Yes,unless you do a double close,the bank will only finance the price you agreed to with the seller.The sellers can squawk all they want about your profit,they can't do anything about it once they sign the sales contract( if you wrote the contract properly) so don't worry about them.The buyers should not care about your profit because they should be professional enough to have the cash and know you don't work for free.Honesty in negotiations is important.

In a year you should have atleast ten grand .

It's really a good investment for the future and not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things.I don't know about your specific jurisdiction but you shouldn't have to rewire the whole house (again, unless it's in really bad shape -- which, if it is, you should upgrade anyway for various other reasons) just because you upgrade the fuse panel to a breaker panel.Good luck either way!
