I think it has the best opportunity for appreciation & value add, attracts the most renters, has the easiest exit strategy. 

I want to attract a decent renter with a decent home that will work with me to fix up the property and bring it to the same level as the rest of the neighborhood.Does anyone have a list of standards for a mobile home community?

Hello,I just reviewed my homeowners insurance policy for my duplex, and noticed it will increase $130 per year, which starts next month if I choose to renew.

I would think it would be part of the budget (a Maintenance Item) and then everyone assessed for it, by a small increase in your monthly HOAs.  

I also like the north Fort Worth area, with a lot of new construction I feel like the area will continue to increase in value. 

Now your comfort level increases along with your confidence.

It is just a different way of building retirement savings.If you were to cash out the plan, you will do two things that are negative right off the bat; significantly reduce the amount of capital you have to invest with through state and federal taxes as well as a 10% penalty if you are under 59 1/2 years old, and likely significantly increase your marginal tax rate on all of your income in the year in which you distribute a lump sum from your plan to yourself.

It seems that less and less people are going in to or even considering trades, and the plight and challenge of finding consistently good contractors will continue to increase.  

I feel like I have a good pulse on the market here in Colorado and have not noticed a large uptick in inventory however deal flow has increased recently and our offers are being accepted without as much competition.  

The property value has increased dramatically over the past 5 years, 100K.
