@carrie @Carrie GulledgeTell the prospective tenant that credit checks are done and a poor rental history and a foreclosure will not get him into any unit you manage.  

I have always been told, if you can solve the problem of your prospect, the sale is in the back of you pocket.

Sounds like your long term prospects there are very very good.

I am interested in getting into mobile home investing as well - however I am very reluctant to deal with owner financing, lending to buyers, and the prospect of having to evict someone.  

Your objective should be to have (6) high shot prospects in your pipeline at all times.

Best thing you can do is ask your prospective property manager for advice.

check out Dave's fileshare for some spreadsheets to help you with some estimates.truly identify what needs to be done or just schedule a contractor to walk through a prospective house with you and ask him a lot of questions.

That property is now cash-flowing and we are looking for our next property.Our next prospect is most likely a multifamily.

Look for a provider that offers quality, unique mail pieces to not only get you notices but also to have your prospect remember you.  

Rehab begins days after closing and the team of agents begin to prospect for next home and then advertise rehabbed property 2-3 weeks before it is ready.
