You want to jot down any negatives you see or that they tell you.

Is it wise to buy a property that negative cash flows if it is an appreciation play?

What about a negative cash flowing property?

Feels light, I am guessing you are cash-flow negative when you factor everything in.  

(Apply a 30% Discount to a comparable home in the area due to the fact that the home is located in a MHP and typically cannot be sold for true market value because of the negative stigma associated with its presence in a MHP.)With the above in mind, and the value of the single family home omitted from this analysis, the estimated valuation range seems to be:@10% Cap Rate:  ($18,000/10%) = $180,000 + Shell value of 14 POH‘s ($7,000 to $14,000) = $187,000 to $194,000@9% Cap Rate: ($18,000/9%) = $200,000 + Shell value of 14 POH‘s ($7,000 to $14,000) = $207,000 - $214,00To finalize this estimate, you need to:a) determine the appropriate market cap rate to use when capitalizing the NOI.  

We were going to build, but my husband died 30 years ago and I just didnt do anything with it.My children will probably sell when I'm gone which negates capital gains.I'm 82, in good health.....so who knows?

I define a non-investor as somebody that owns investment property but operates it in a negative cash flow basis.

You have to eliminate years of negative perception about the property from people's minds.

But because we work at the very same product from a very different angle than what is traditional, and we have some dishonest practitioners in our midst we are all painted in that negative light.

If the risks (both the subject to/due on sale issue AND the title insurance issue) can be negated entirely with alternative financing, it just seems penny wise pound foolish not to explore that option instead of the subject to/no title insurance, which COULD (not will for certain, but we do agree it could) end up a big mess.
