You could easily get all lower end SS appliances at you local Sears Outlet for around $1500 to $2000 (fridge, dishwasher,stove) The counter space is small.  

I have been driving by parks that easily are twice that price and alot of them are in pretty dicey areas, i.e. no jobs, drugs, cars on blocks etc etc.

Moved to Austin not very long ago.  Looking to be less conservative about RE investing.

I could just as easily listed them myself or my wife as we owned them all.. but I would give those folks a chance to learn and earn..

I have started a property management/realty company to expand my personal real estate portfolio and help others become real estate investors.

Looking to expand our buy and hold business.

I am in the process of re-expanding my business after the downturn of the last recession.

Pex will expand and contract because it's basically flexible plastic.Cheapest stuff you can find in terms of appliances or things that will get replaced.

I believe its easier to lose short term versus long term, long term allows you to pay down the principle and hopefully expect some appreciation, i think the final goal should be to have properties free and clear some day, if you buy right and hold the property, manage it well, i see it hard to lose money over a 10+ year term doing the buy and hold scenario, on the other hand you can easily lose money buying and selling several homes yearly.  

So, I'm expanding my search out to 30-minute drive, and Claremont is within that range and seems to have some less expensive multi-unit properties that may have potentials to cash flow.
