Hey there @JJ Neerman, I know nothing of mobiles so I think Derek, Jayson and Micki are great resources overall.  

I will chime in regarding sewer, septic, mound or lagoon, and wells, on the same property.  I built and remodeled in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains in Northern CA for many years.  Most of those areas were similar to your project and all I can say when buying existing systems is.....INSPECTIONS!  

Have them both inspected by reputable LOCAL companies.  And when you think you have ALL the answers, have them inspected by the next guy in line!  There are distinct maintenance items for each, and if they have been neglected for any length of time, you could have a complete disaster an hour and a half after you close!

Hell, my own home was on a well and septic and even I didn't do ALL the things I knew SHOULD be done to properly maintain them.  

Sounds like you are headed in the right direction and if nothing else it will be a learning experience!  Best of luck to you sir....

See y'all there!

I will be there!!

Hmm, don't know of any reliable Maintenance folks.....sorry!  Good luck!

Chris Bunge. Has helped me for two years now. Cannot go wrong!

Yeah, I'm licensed as well!  Try to avoid the retail side just because it takes so much time but I have open houses this weekend, so I hear ya.  When you find yourself heading to Columbia give me a shout and we'll make time!!

Boy wish I had started at your age Alec!  It's a great way to be independent and comfortable as long as DISCIPLINE is a major part of your life.  I have struggled with that forever...somehow always land on my feet and get to the next project.

I am flipping and buying rentals in the Columbia area.  Not sure what part of SC you are in but if you want to have a beer and hear the good and the bad from my prospective, I'd be happy to help!!

Hey Matt,

I hear ya on the Correction end of law enforcement...BUT...the W-2 income is really necessary while you building your book of business, usually 3-5 years.  I have been an agent here in Columbia South Carolina for 3 years, but my main focus is investing so I don't do a ton of retail sales.  I stumble on one now and then and am even doing the Chip and Joanna thing where someone bought a house from me so I could remodel it, but I have a W-2 job that I can count on while I'm working toward my goals. 

During my LE career, I had a lot of friends/fellow officers who were investors/remodelers/builders while they kept their FT gig.  You're 25 yo man, you have eons in front of you.  Take it one step at a time and evaluate every move.  You will suddenly turn around and be able to make whatever career decisions you want.  It just happens that way!  

Best of luck to you and feel free to get in touch when you find yourself in my beautiful state!!
