In OR, here you can do it and there is a guy selling containers after punching in windows.Stopper I see is that, so far, these things get to be more expensive (by the time you get up to code) than stick-built or pre-fabs.You may want to look at Kasita in TX, I think they start with a container, but it's prefab building block kinda deal.

My wife and I just placed an offer for a duplex in an area across the street from a small trailer park in Alabama, but around the block there are houses for 150k and above.

I actually live a few blocks from this address and run a STR property management business here in Boise.

More than a few are in areas that are a no go for me & my team but that's why it was paramount for us to go and physically see the properties and blocks they are on.

You better REALLY like this neighborhood and REALLY like being the cheapest home on a nice block.

Hi Nelly,The duplex is in Parkside, a few blocks from new High School.

Yes I believe the bank was notified,  there is no one else on the loan, I am being affirmed as administrator for probate so I will get authority, but that could be six months.The sale date is the larger question, nothing has followed the notice of default, the property is in CA so the moratorium is in effect currently until Aug 31st.I don't know if the 90 day countdown goes into effect during that period, as its been over 90 since the default notice, they may just be blocked by the moratorium

Option two is to block out future listings on previous owners account and add the listings to my current account.

. - Start underwriting deals: the more hours you can accumulate calculating reno budgets and ARVs, the better- For the first few deals, try to stick with block construction, post 1950s build in non flood zones.- Always get a full property inspection before buying, even if you have waived the inspection period- Get pre qualified for a loan in advance- Track your household expenses carefully and try to live well under your means- Set aside 6 months living expenses in a "rainy day account".

Type 1 STRs are owner occupied and are allowed one STR "by right" per property, regardless of the total block face percentage of STRs.
