I think it'll end up just being cheaper for me to take down a wall and amplify the space than have to pay for a compact unit.

@Kenneth Jackson,About the only option you have is to learn how to team up with money partners, whether that's private lenders, other investors or hard-money.Read up on self-directed retirement accounts and how folks can use them to take more active control of their earnings on their retirement savings.When you can show folks how you can get them 12% to 20% return on their money versus the beating their savings has taken on Wall Street - 50% to 90% losses, you'll soon have more money available than you can find deals to do.There was a post in another thread about the biggest mistakes newbies make.

The numbers seemed really good from the beginning, and I'm lucky enough to have supportive people around me willing to help and guide me.

The wire railing systems are appealing to me because it would allow for the open floor plan feel to be continued.The railing that is to be replaced is shown in the photo and the wall to the right of the photo is removed replaced by a 1/2 wall into the kitchen for the "open" feel.Thank you for any feed back and if you have different ideas please share!

I have had rust in my vents every year and reported it to management as well as cracks in our walls that that haven't fixed.

But if you make your calculations, and you have a "trusted" broker that supports the price you're planning to sell it for, than go ahead.Good luck 

In Calif, it is code to have the water heater strapped to a wall - - and yes, they take pictures and report the condition to ESCROW, not the city.

These "park models" that I have an "in" on are 12' x 40' and have central a/c and heat with 2x4 walls, shingle roofs, and vinyl siding.  

Minor diy work with little contracting like adding a wall to make a 4th room (old owners took the wall down a long time ago), restaining cabinets, backsplash, flooring, paint walls, tile, crown molding, add tub to half bath by knocking out closet, fixing up the master bedroom en suite, etc.

Can do a number of structures but ideally either seller-financed or all-cash buys, with or without partners.Looking For: Partners & support network contacts!
