It's important to stay laser focused on the tasks at hand and on the things that you can control.

Some, like us, only allow investment in deals in which we are in full control as the managing partners; others act as a marketplace for various sponsors who pass certain criteria, still others allow just about anyone to “crowdsource” a real estate deal.My concern, from the very beginning was that many of these platforms are run by tech guys, not real estate or finance guys.

You own the home but have to pay a monthly lot rent that can change at any time at the park owners discretion..You have no control over that.. you want to buy something with no control.. almost like stocks..

@Tim Herman Miscellaneous expenses are lawn care and pest control.

MLS access and control of information is a contentious issue for agents and consumers, Zillow and the like are dominating the market with this data making it harder for agents in the ensuing years, heck harder for everyone.Better question to ask is what information are you looking for?

Digging in to public records and calling police, we found that tenant was arrested for "manufacturing controlled substance between 4g to 200g".Tenant was not trouble maker but here's the history:1.

I've come to realize that as we age, nothing is more valuable than the time we spend together, and this is especially important to me with regard to my parents.

12 month because it gives you some control over when vacancies happen (you can also do whatever month number will put you in a good position), for example if a unit goes vacant in winter it is harder to fill and may rent for less while the opposite is true in spring.

I am single, currently working , not in school, live with my parents where I split bills equal with them, rent etc.
