At least where I am (and I think this goes for the majority of the coasts), I don't think renters could afford much higher rent.  

Condition, location and maintenance needs are very important.One tenant factor you may run into is the affordability of c/a. 

My primary target is construction that I can sell at an affordable rate in the future or something that I can rent out.

I’ve worn a number of hats—commercial mortgage originations, syndication, securitization, etc and was once a CFO for an affordable housing developer using low income housing tax credits.I’ve seen the tail end of the early ‘90’s downturn and was knee deep in the most recent one.

The business I started provides narrated virtual tours for agents, and the model I'm using will, I hope, make it easy and affordable for agents to try out something a little different while also allowing me to work from anywhere, which is a big part of the goal for my wife and me.I came across the site searching for some information and advice, and it looks like there's a lot to be had here so I'm excited to make the acquaintance of the community.

Talk to folks at the Chamber of Commerce to get the scoop on the area's economic forecast and how other businesses see the future of MHPs in the area.We just had two cases of older Parks being run out of business b/c the new City Council created so many new ordinances there was no way the owners could afford to become compliant with the new rules.  

The Affordable Care Act decimated my business and in one fell swoop, I found out how quickly life could change.    

I am a new member of "Bigger Pockets" here in South Florida and I'd like to offer my services as a Multi-Family & Commercial Real Estate Appraiser (State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser - FL) specializing in "restricted appraisals" (brief and at affordable prices) to buyers, sellers, brokers, agents and lenders throughout FL.
