In your case I have believe the value is in the cash flow that is generated from the MH.  

Both of those things absolutely are beneficial in generating more profit, but they are not profit themselves.I also believe 100% in what I think is Bob's theory of how to invest.  

You agent/Realtor should be able to best advise you on what he thinks you can negotiate for the subsidy.

The nicer mobile home that I bought by mistake needs about $3000 in new roofing and is already occupied, generating $650 a month.

Also, do you all use those postcards to generate a motivated seller pipeline?

I talk about ways we generate leads, how much leads can cost (double those #'s for LA), and why you want to develop a consultative approach - offering your solutions (buying, listing, etc.) as a range of opportunities to solve the seller's problem.  

Some investors have had great success in getting the property under contract first, while others highly advise to have a buyers list first.  

This is an IA (Investment Adviser) model and is most definitely NOT something you want to be under FINRA for (IA's operate under the SEC, but not also under FINRA like BD's have to).

I would advise you not to offer 76k...Offer something random like 76,326 or something off the wall...Everyone else is going to offer 76k and you need to beat them.  

I've got a good adviser helping me out, but I would appreciate other input on the HUD side.
