You would also want to be sure they are not "in bed" with the individual you are releasing funds to!

Just saw on the news that a nearby apt from mine burned down and resulted in one death.

@Bram Spiero The property manager is 10% of the rent, which I think is pretty standard.This forums seems to be all about details and real numbers (which I like), so I guess I'll share on my duplex.Purchase price: $295kSide 1 (3 beds/1 bath): $1350Side 2: (2 beds/1 bath): $1200Basic Income 2550 - basic expenses ~2171 (water varies, mortgage, management fee, tax, insurance) = $379.  

A 28ft by 48 ft 3 bed 2 bath Mobile can bring over $50K in the right market.  

I hope I'm not making the rookie error of asking a question that's been beat to death five ways to Sunday around here.

As for the death of the borrower.

Works well in kitchen, bath, laundry, mud room, living room, bed room.

For instance, you have four bedrooms but they're small and the overall size is small vs. other four bed units. 

I will add a half bath now, and then an addition of a master bed and bath before resale. 

Maybe not...But what if it were Life or Death?
