But I was just talking about this yesterday and I want to have the extra time and resources to do the things I want to do.

It really depends on the individual property.

You find out that this individual, or perhaps both, used to be drug users.

Are you looking around for a networking group to learn more about investing in real estate or are you looking for an actual mastermind group made up of high net worth individuals (most likely millionaires or more) who meet to talk about the economy and their tstrengths and threats to their businesses and how they plan to address those threats as they continue to grow.

You should be able to ask the owner about the extra costs (utilities, HOAs, insurance, etc.). 

Realtors friendly individuals?

Each of these variables will dramatically change the advice I give the individual asking me this question. 

Take some time to save that extra 1.5% if needed - you'll be ready to buy before you know it!

Go on you local swip swap Facebook pagesAsk for who moves houses Contact them and get prices to have a doublewide moved onto the property with ALL permits and for them to handle the septic, well etc Also get individual quotes for well, electric, septic etc as the house mover as contractor Look on FB for used mobile homes Find one you can afford Have it moved onto your property

Last recession I was flooded with REO and Shortsales and was making more than what I'm making now(due to some extra form to fill out on each appraisal with extra compensation) However, appraisal is a job, and I left my corporate job many years ago not to have another job.
