We have some pretty dialed in systems, a lot of experience and are still probably spending about $1,500 - $2,500 per property we purchase, and that is with all of our experience, and my margins are much tighter than yours.

Off hand, I'd want the security code if they activate the alarm system. :)

To do this you utilize the "class" system.

they take the value of the land, which they determine from land sales, add what it costs to build the building, and deduct the "depreciation" (ie adjust for age and market conditions) An example of non- age depreciation would be having a silo on a farm where all the local farmers have changed their system to bunk storage) Ie the Silo may have cost $20K to build, and it may be brand new, but the cost to operate it is much higher than using a skidsteer to drive through the barn with scooped up cow food.I digress,So that's the tax assessment process, but all the tax assessors is worried about is the value of your property RELATIVE to other properties that they are taxing.

Winterizing is done to remove most of the water from the water system with air pressure and then filling the drains and toilets with antifreeze.

I don't own an MHP (yet) but in all of the research I have done staying away from septic systems is a good idea for new investors.

I think developing good systems ala "The E-Myth" etc. is huge when doing REI on the side.

I've been doing my due diligence for preparing a solid wholesaling system on Whidbey Island Washington and the everett/north seattle area.

Pretty sure this system is not for my 5 unit property, but you should contact them and check this out.

Did you use any particular system or form to determining the repairs?
