If the property is not a fairly obvious value than normally you either have something other people don't (rehab skills, property management skills, etc.) and that your realtor doesn't or you are not buying at such a great price that he or she would want to steal it from you. 

Because he was someone that was a former classmate of my son, I asked him to call me after normal business hours so we could discuss his interests and plans.Here were some things that came out of that discussion:He has the intelligence  and the money to buy a land lease community, and it could be a very good investment for him.He knows next to nothing about owning and managing a land lease community, but as a former Lonnie Dealer, knew a little bit about manufactured housing.Because I believe, “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.
