Cary allows "utility dwelling units" (a second unit within the same structure) town-wide.

I've noticed that the two sources I'm using vary widely.

Yea, there are just sooooo many resources and angles to build relationships so I've definitely been out here connecting with professionals.

Or are you saying to shoot a wide net out of all the properties that might be in my price range and you never know who might need to sell?

One of my first homes in this area, was a double wide modular on a raised ranch foundtation. 

Purchase price: $125,000 Cash invested: $29,000 Abandoned REO foreclosure single wide on a mostly steep 3 acre lot in a great location.

The unit was old, but also overworked as my tenant continues to leave their windows wide open in the middle of a Wisconsin winter.

Quite frankly, there is no way I just throw $2k at this thing to make it go away, nor would most people in my position, which is why I’m on here getting wide ranging and excellent ideas from all of you.

One is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom double wide.

, insurance (varies widely by zip code and even from one agency to another), property or area specific items like sewer (projected to increase substantially in some areas) and water (some towns have special projects/assessments coming up), specific deferred maintenance / capital items that may require funds within the first few years, etc.For me, something I like the first time home buyer program are nice extras to boost an actual realized return, but I don’t factor it into my analysis because the property will have to stand on its own as a pure rental someday, and also because it’s pretty difficult to predict the future 5 years out.
