Again there are things to look for when doing this, you can own a small part of a 2 million MF building that will grow and cash flow, or you can take a 60k commission. 

We have been renting up until now and with the growing family we are thinking of buying a home.

The shelf life of most appliances runs 10 to 15 years so I typically start my capex relatively low and then as my appliances age slowly raise it.

Podcasters...for anyone breaking even or actually making money off your (real estate related) podcast, I'm wondering if you can point me to ideas on how best to grow number of listeners, if and when to add advertising, and generally how many downloads/listeners you achieved before breaking even? 

This business is guaranteed as long as you are willing to go though the growing pains.

Family vacations are great, but in my experience (kids age 7, 5, and 2), kids just need to be loved and you can do that pretty inexpensively until you get things in order financially. 

It is important for you to be comfortable with the asset you are purchasing, then have your PM manage and grow that for you.  

That’s why very thorough underwriting on purchasing MHC is very important.Confirming and verifying bank deposits with the rent roll and aging reports will keep you from being surprised by rampant delinquencies which could take 6 months or more to correct.I have taken over several parks in Michigan and they had more landlord friendly rules and still took 6-8 months to clean the park up.

If that's not successful, then hand delivery to another person at the residence of suitable age and mailing first class.
