oh and THANK YOU for your service.

Of course, you want to go with a turnkey provider (if that's the route you go) that keeps annual maintenance costs as low as possible, but there will always be something big that needs a repair when it comes to a long-term investment like that.

However, I went to the first meeting and the main speaker was an out-of-town guy giving a super high-pressure sales job for some MLM program called "Financial Education Services Protection", which didn't actually have anything to do with real estate, other than he was pitching us to pressure credit challenged prospects into buying this (my opinion) predatory program.

Others choose to claim CCA each year, which means they have some tax savings and could use those savings for improvements, maintenance, or other investments.

I'm looking to switch my service any advice on which one I should use 

The upside if I end up keeping this property is it should be maintenance free for years with new roof, furnace, hot water tank, electrical completely re run, and plumbing.

(This strategy works best with land home packages and will allow you to make your rent while having them handle the maintenance)5)  Find stores that cater to second hand MH material.  

It was a C-class property and had lots of deferred maintenance, but over time these got worked out and it was just sold as a B-class with more than 200% appreciation.We bought well and required a positive cash flow on day-1 (ie the break even point was 70% occupancy). 

Occupancy, Preservation, Maintenance and Protection of the Property:Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within sixty days after the execution of this Security Instrument (or within sixty days of a later sale or transfer of the Property) and shall continue to occupy the Property as Borrower's principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender determines that requirement will cause undue hardship for Borrower, or unless extenuating circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower's control.

I have plans to use a property manager to help find investment properties and manage the properties (maintenance, rent collection, getting new tenants, etc...).Any thoughts/opinions/direction would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Bradhttp://www.housingwire.com/articles/36651-new-repo...
