Sending a letter is good idea. 

It's also a good idea to have a third party, such as a realtor, visit the property to ensure the work is being done diligently and on time.I have an excellent contact for work in North Texas.

Also I have some ideas but not sure exactly how I would attack the bigger parts of the curb appeal (not talking about landscaping, I mean things like windows, siding, and support posts)

I owned a local carting company 6k and the folks that knew them....my management co said that was a bad idea.

Here's the post minus her contact info and exact address:I'm telling mine pretty rough shape mobile homes I feel about my dress this would be worth almost 200,000 not too long from now so good because I need to live in it for 15 more years until I die whichever comes first I think 35 in cash and you can take it over when I die or 15 years first or I'll accept 10,000 cash down and a few hundred a month until you ready to take it over at that time of my death or whatever then you would be giving that payment to my children until the contractor satisfied serious requires only please  or you can email me let me know if you want to come look at it whatever money I get at the beginning and their household it's going to go into fixing the place up by the time I die I hope it's quite nice extremely life actually before the viral to be able to actually move into it themselves it'd be a hold of my place by the time I can do any more to it hopefully waterwood drive Gainesville Georgia 30506 I'm ready to do it ASAPMy first reply:Cute area, actually owned by poster, and almost a half-acre with the small 684-foot trailer.

Any ideas on how I can make it good without replacing the whole thing?

Hi here some ideas: - You could increase your down payment, yeah that su... but anyways...- Try to find off market deals for way cheaper (e.g. using hard money, then refi into a rental loan)- Try to find properties where the owner will finance a big part of it and you get only a small loan with higher interest rates for the down payment.- Get a property subject to where you take over payments for a loan with lower interestfeel free to reach out and discuss some ideas

Holding long-term has been for me a great wealth strategy.  

So for the last 2 years, I have let this idea stay just that, an idea.

A few posts on this thread but nothing that really explains if the app holds any real value or not.
