In that area, you will certainly want it to be insured as vandalism could be an issue.  

Knowledge is power.Once you have purchased the community, you are going to need even more help and you are going to have a number of legal and compliance issues to deal with.

I became aware of this after another lawyer reviewed my lease, for another issue.

The only issue I have had so far is with our agent, he has been a pleasure to work with, very nice and helpful but.... in my opinion not experienced with investors.

@John Thedford That was another issue that i thought about, not having the capital upfront to purchase the properties.

I just got off the phone with Dependable Doors in Puyallup--They would not just sell me the spring (liability issues) but for $250 - $300 would install it.Two Five Three - Five Three Seven etc etc  ....They were a referral from my neighbor and they did 2 new doors on our street....""

So there is some liability issues here.Most of the appliances I just replace them instead of fixing them.

I would say that if you do this without the proper permits, you may have issues when you sell the property and try to claim it as one entire unit.  

One of the first things i request all my Foreign national clients to do is attain a tax ID Number and a government issued document bearing a photograph.

That's the issue.
