I have pulled the appraisal districts survey and the original lot is still clearly marked.

I think that in general, the hording is not normal use of the unit and as such, any costs associated with cleaning it out should be deductible from a security deposit but marketing, despite the eviction, for a new tenant is normally an owner expense and would not expect it to be deductible from the security deposit.Oren

You could also explore the association management business which few states require a license to manage.

Currently, I am working to save for the costs associated with launching a career in real estate.  

There is no specific language in the law that says landlord must provide, heat, furnace,   The language I provided earlier which is from the MN bar association lease mimics state statute and has been interpreted to mean that a LL must provide a working heat source, it does nor require them to pay the utility cost to run the heat source.  

My hesitations are based on the fact that the house is part of a small private association that maintains the road and provides water from a shared well for about $1,000/year.

I can tell at a glance that he has made all 5 payments and if one is ever missing I will know immediately what property it is associated with.

If people see you with a military ID they will associate what you say and do directly to the military, good or bad.

It might be best if you could survey off the mobile home onto a separate plat of land. 

Now depending on the loan terms and how this submarket will support rent increases (market survey) then it looks like if you can raise rents to $700 a month and maintain a 92% economic occupancy then the deal will make an 10.3% cash on cash return.
