I know the standard rate for rentals is 10%, but I'm willing to pay more, since trailers are by nature harder to deal with than regular houses.

I am a general contractor and I've been certified for fire and water damage restoration for more than 40 years.

For instance, qualifying for the mortgage on this house used 75% of the rents on the double by nature of the leases we had on it, but they are in MY name, not the business.

Naturally, it depends on the temps.

A few being, 1)open stairways to main living spaces and the out side  2) window wells that allow natural light 3) amenities such as a bathroom Please share your thoughts on the effects on resale value and your valuation method for calculating these effects.Thank youPatrick

Naturally this makes sense for a long term Primary Residence; however, also according to my calculations, these properties would have a hard time renting for $2400 (conservative breakeven w/property mgmt) if I up and moved somewhere else.

The challenge here naturally is how do you manage the property from a maintenance and leasing standpoint.

My W-2 existence is as a certified project manager (not construction-related).

My situation is that I am a Licensed Landscape Contractor in Cali (2017), a recent General Contractor in Oregon (2019), and and just got certified in Backflow testing and repairs. 

Send them a certified letter, possibly with your first months check in it, requesting they contact you to help setup your payments.
