Has anyone ever attempted this?

The tenant's lease should point this out as well.For normal use, like hair clogs, toilets, gunked-up p-traps through no negligence, the landlord is responsible to maintain (at least in NYC).Also, when drains do clog, make sure the tenants do not attempt DIY solutions such as drain cleaners on their own.

I keep hearing good things about it so I'll put in a more serious attempt soon.Jacob

Browsing a good sampling of the current listings in the area/price range should help a lot with this.I'd also recommend at least attempting to do your own estimate in parallel with this.

The HOA has been making attempts to locate and repair the problem but so far no luck.

Fleas and keys are on them.Late rent and an attempted break in(damage) are irrelevant.

I have 5 single family homes I rent out now, but this is my first attempt at the MH market...I blame and thank John Fedro for being so amazingly AWESOME : )

That is awesome that you are educating yourself and preparing yourself better for the 2nd attempt at REI.I also want to welcome a fellow Chicagoland investors to BP!

You asked a straightforward question, and it is strange that not one person even attempted to answer it with a quantified answer.

I'm actually in a city that seems like it would be a good place to attempt jumping into the market without a $200,000 loan to get started off.
