Instead of doing things through my mortgage company the contractor and I partnered.The Realtor brought deals that were basically listed that need repairs or new business.We used a future advance demand note and a construction contract.A few deals we partnered with the seller, obtaining a SWD for a half interest, and special power of attorney to sell, makes life easier with out of town owners.

Most of my deals actually went to "Plan C & D".You must always calculate the rent your fixed up unit will demand and that rent had better cover your costs.

They continue to purchase property in order to fill the demand of students.Aaron Ram - the taxes are very low. $720 for the whole year. $564 in insurance.

They provided me the main advantage of being able to run my properties as market demanded they should versus how the ordinance would tell me how to do it.

This includes a mortgage banker who can walk you through financing options, rates and pre-qualify you; a contractor to help with bid/rehab estimates; an investment-savvy realtor with access to the MLS; and a property manager who can advise on rents, rentability and demand.

Our experience with the retail side is that demand/activity is very low in W Baltimore, 21216.

You cannot be the nice guy, you must be respectful but demanding of what you asked for.Get referrals from as many pros in your area so save you the headache of hunting down good workers.Get multiple bids on everything.TRUST YOUR GUT.Don't take referrals from unexperienced rehabbers (this one cost me dearly).Create an contingency fund for when you go over budget because you will.

Based on what you are saying other than "retiree's" there are no other major employers or economic options drawing people.Relying on supply and demand.

If that creates a greater demand for manufactured housing, do you think it would translate to more institutional lending programs for mh given the lack of seller financing?

Maybe demand a warranty deed.
