Hi all - what form do you recommend for Mobile Home Lot Lease agreements?

.- Your property should be in my comfort zone which in my case includes: Well above my minimum $80k including rehab loan size (the more the better), not too rural (seriously no McMansions somewhere in outer Hicksville - nothing against people living there, my underwriters seem allergic to wide open spaces), no groundups or land or mobile parks.- Please don't come to me saying that so and so has offered better rates or less points or less closing fees.

In particular, is there a specific type of real estate that can be managed efficiently (semi-active or passive) out of state, as I'll likely have to be out of CA due to the prices.I was originally thinking 5+ multifamily, but then I saw other opportunities related to mobile homes, retail space, and even storage space.

I have kinda had a realization about capital expenditures on Mobile Home Parks.

If you want to notarize it there are mobile notary services and individuals that will get it done and send to you.

I recently listened to an episode of the The Real Estate Guys Radio Show where they dedicated an entire show to mentorship, their value, how to find them, and how to vet them.

Hi Cade,BP has a Rehab Estimator tool which you can find under the Tools tab along the navbar.Another thing to consider is JScott's Book on Estimating Rehab Costs which includes a spreadsheet template that you can use.Otherwise, I have also uploaded a spreadsheet to my BP fileplace which has a repair estimator tool and a database of common material items and prices that you can use as a starting point.https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/drobertson/file/house-flipping-spreadsheet-6-liteOtherwise, there are web based apps that have similar functionalities to the spreadsheets that I could recommend if you are looking for something more mobile?

Use a high reward/points credit card for as many real estate expenses as possible and pay this off at the end of every month out of your real estate dedicated checking account. 

Hi James, definitely important to make sure you have a dedicated team in place if you decide to set your sights on investing out of state.
