Well run communities are desirable places to live and they do not need any help staying full, and normally do not want any rentals of any kind.

yes, that sounds about right, but in the $100k ARV range I'm finding it tough to find 80% deals.I try to stay in within 10 miles of my house, I avoid any neighborhoods that have a lot of rentals (which is sort of funny), etc.I'm having to look outside of my preferred neighborhoods/school areas (not school districts, but say in Mesquite, there are certain schools that renters prefer, so I really prefer to buy in the areas that qualify for those schools.Erik Drentlaw yes, that's the idea anyway, I haven't actually gotten myself to "pull the trigger" on any of those deals,,I try to follow my business model closely, and this is something that doesn't "fit"

For ease of commute, I'd probably look at the seacoast area, and stay away from Lawrence unless you're prepared to deal with the tenant base.

My questions, how do I put a movable house under contract since it's not staying at it's current address?

I'm a full-time stay-at-home DAD.

I clean roofs and siding , first add some dawn to the mixture of bleach , it will help it stay on the siding longer , dont get it on the ac unit or in electrical outlets (its corrosive) It will kill plants , all you have to do is rinse them real good .

All have stayed occupied continuously since purchase.

One way to ensure you stay committed is to engage in the forums, network with local investors, and read books!

After talking to the Bank and since refinancing to a non-owner occupied mortgage would up the payments, My wife and I will just stay on the mortgage and rent somewhere cheaper for awhile..

If we get a lead in and they aren't motivated to sell we stay in contact with them by email, mail, and phone call follow ups.
