And just like tenants, screening is critical.Do you just flip  or fix/flip your sub2's?  

I'm estimating 500/month for capex based on other parks I own of similar size and age, but I am not sure what's holding me back from pulling the trigger.

Hit up the Memphis Investors FB group and get on some wholesaler email lists but make sure to screen your deals carefully.

I had something similiar happen once and I actually do screen shot the description when I book now  (I did not pursue the matter and I don't even recall what the issue was, but it was enough of an impact that I keep clear records now) Good luck. 

The numbers that matter, are the ones that apply to each property, in the same size range, in the same area (small), with $$$ in front, not %%% in back. 

There are definitely homes out there that look and feel like townhomes but are technically classified as single-family residences, often with small lots and part of an HOA.In searches, it might help to focus on terms like "single-family home in HOA", "zero lot line", or even just filter by single-family and then narrow down by lot size or community type.

Does anyone have experience screening foreigners who are relocating for work?

Look for a screening provider that offers income verification through a secure bank connection.

So I've heard this can run you a lot - around $30,000 for the average sized home of $400,000 in the area I'm looking at.
