Of course, if the place is dirty or not in ideal condition, I agree with the previous posters: wait until he’s out so you can get it in top condition to attract the best tenants.

So many RVs and some larger boats won't fit, which is a BIG market right now. 

I found it to be a good area for many reasons (including wanting to live there personally) but of course the age of homes in the area oftentimes lends itself to if you're likely to find an affordable duplex at all.

I personally like Frank Wolfe's course at MHP University.

This will shape your investment direction, as one size does NOT fit all!

I've attended two meetups and really starting to get the ideaThank you to anyone who sees fit to chime in!

As we toured selected homes that fit our investment criteria (3BR/1Bth @ $200/mth cash flow and 12% cash on cash), we walked into a cute and renovated home and noticed that we could only count 2 bedrooms!

I've written to her and tried to request *address service* on that letter since that same lien hasn't been paid in the last couple of years.I'm guessing my best course is to consult a legal professional but I'm trying to get as much leg work done ahead of time.MY QUESTION: If I'm able to make contact with any of the 'next of kin' for either party, is it possible that one of the parties can claim 'adverse possesion' and claim rights if I cannot get both entities together on the deal?

There are, of course, many factors that go into figuring out how you would be able to survive such a downturn but that depends on what you invest in and your potential mitigation and exit strategies.  

You can of course simply go to MHA and say, hey these tenants are month to month and I want to raise their rent because they haven't had it raised in a while.....THey will most likely look at that....and then,, presto...instant additional cashflow.....and most likely the MHA will pay the extra amount...not the tenant.Easy Peasy
