The quad is also grandfathered in since its so old. 

Exactly 0 of the old tenants stay. 

It is a completely different world from retail home buyers.

well if they intend to and do close, all is well and right in the world, BUT if they went into the deal with no intent of closing if they didnt find a buyer for the contract, not that creates a Litigateable problem with the seller, and license law problem because they intend to collect a fee for the contract by marketing the home with out a license. they can argue "But im selling my contract not the house" well thats like saying im eating healthy because this Jelly filled doughnut has fruit in it, no one is buying that argument. 

Squeezing out a few hundred here or there is sometimes not worth it :)  Good tenants are hard to find in both residential and commercial world.

These are expensive but if you are working with a management company that specializes in large properties they might have this service and can pull reports for you.But even the paid services are no substitute for good old-fashioned shoe leather.

I am totally new to the investing world.

Hi All,My quest for my first rental property continues and I have an off-market opportunity in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. 

We want to buy the new house first, move into it, then stage and sell the old house.

I know this post is two years old but I was curious if any of you ended up investing in a MHP in the above mentioned NJ towns?
