This isn't the typical slam-dunk retail sale.

But like I said, that may not be the pace you are after now.One last thing.

When you use your credit card to buy goods in a retail establishment or online, who charges an addtional 2.75% interest to process your credit card? 

If $145 is the retail price, that's what they pay.

If so, how well do contractors respond to such detail and does this level of budgeting really help to keep things moving at the right pace?  

Good because the tenant is responsible for all lawn care and utilities, etc (if they actually do it), and if it goes vacant you should be able to sell it fairly quickly.Multi Family - Lower per unit cost and most likely a little higher return than single family for cash flow, but they are more management intensive and may not appreciate as much as the single family property.Commercial - You could buy a commercial office, retail or industrial property but you have to expect more capital requirements for tenant improvements, commissions, and vacancy time periods can be longer.  

The problem with MH`s is finding comps on the retail side.

Everything brand new.So the on line source's pull up the wholesale buy and you look at the retail exit and it does get confusing..

(other than big box retail) Does anyone have a good place they use?

@Kyle Chase If you look at the retail sector, Walgreens and Rite Aide or CVS always go in by each other, Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell and Del Taco, etc.
