With all of these fees coming out of my current income and complexity of retitling, resigning leases, and whatever else I need to do, I am thinking of foregoing this step. 

Compared to buying well situated real estate with high barriers of entry (even multifamily or single family) that’s new construction or fully renovated with modern systems, RV parks felt less passive and more operational.I’m sure there are great operators doing very well in the space, but for me the risk adjusted returns didn’t stand out enough relative to other assets with higher barriers to entry and less day to day complexity.

Do they include features like utilities or a pool?

@Stephanie Cortez As RE investing gets more complex and cities like Philly are getting tougher, the savvy investors are doing well and buying up opportunities, the newer investors are often stumbling through their first acquisitions and learning the hard way how resilient they are (or are not) and the folks in the middle are hopefully working on getting smarter and more careful about everything - vetting tenants better, being smart about renovations and maintenance, exploring alternate strategies when necessary. 

Plus my mother lives in the same complex different building and I need to be near her in case of an emergency.

and are you highlighting the best features of the property -Different strategy: Is the property in an area where MTR makes more sense?

cost of putting the rehab on this card: $0.3. not sure what you mean by refinance / closing costs not being worth it - that's an essential feature of a BRRRR. 

Propstream used to have a map feature that you could use for this as well, but Google is free.

As long as you are covering your expenses when you leave and rent it out - that is usually a win.Focus on: 1.location - strong location means stronger appreciation, stronger rent demand, and higher quality applicants.2. layout and features.

To that end, some assessor websites still have features that allow you to search sold listings to find comparable sales that way as well.
