The opportunity of renovating the home just wouldn't pencil.

I've been fortunate enough through my research and what I learned here on BP to have bought a solid investment property, which of course started with having the knowledge to identify and recognize the opportunity for what it was worth and act on it.

If you haven't signed a lease, yes, you can raise the rent (as long as you don't treat anyone differently and give everyone an opportunity). 

well if they intend to and do close, all is well and right in the world, BUT if they went into the deal with no intent of closing if they didnt find a buyer for the contract, not that creates a Litigateable problem with the seller, and license law problem because they intend to collect a fee for the contract by marketing the home with out a license. they can argue "But im selling my contract not the house" well thats like saying im eating healthy because this Jelly filled doughnut has fruit in it, no one is buying that argument. 

I “gave up” the opportunity to raise rent after 1 year in order to avoid a vacancy and lock in tenants I liked.

We both have the same opportunity.

Better to get your license yourself, stay on the legal side and then you can source all kinds of opportunities.

Hi All,My quest for my first rental property continues and I have an off-market opportunity in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. 

Secondly, any MHP investors have thoughts on opportunities in SNJ, PA and DE?

I thought there was an opportunity to help out the seller's son and possible buyer.
