Your assumption is that families don't need to spend anything for housing. 

Knowing that, you know that if you want zero of your own money in the deal, you can't spend more than $75,000 total.

I plan on putting profits into marketing in the future, but I kind of wanted to see if I could do a deal without spending money first!

I know its not legal.. but I self insure myself in that regard. some say its recession proof and some say not.. my banker says not.. he says when economy gets tough they just won't spend 200 bucks a month to store their stuff they either up and leave it or move it somewhere else.. so that's two opinions.my units were quite unique one they were A class and two right across the street from 300 floating homes and all my tenants save a very few had house boats.. so I kind of had a captive audicance and once I got it converted to mainly all houses boats..

I wish I could be more helpful but I dont really spend time worrying too much about those fees in my projections.

So don't over-improve the home, but my guess is that your budget for finishes will be largely determined by what comes back on your septic/HVAC inspections.Lending standards aren't tough on double wides.

I've been investing in the Denver area since 2011, and the more time I spend on the site (reading forums, listening to podcasts, etc) the more I realize how little I actually know!

You might be a little over the $10k budget but, you will have new electric, new drywall, and a well insulated home.

For example, Phonix may be closer to you, allowing you to visit the property if necessary, but you're going to spend (on average) $243,600 for a $1,000 rental (with a 4.1% unemployment rate).
