Mobile Home Rentals - A Great Investment
Why mobile home rentals? Get past the prejudice and look at the
numbers. In our town, for example, a two bedroom house costs
$130,000 and rents for $800/month. A $50,000 mobile home on real
estate gets $500/month. Cash-on-cash return on investment is
obviously higher with mobile homes.
Don't let the half-truth that mobiles depreciate in value keep
you from investing in them. They lose value in a park, on a
rented lot, but not on real estate. My first home was a mobile,
bought for $19,000 and ... Read the rest of this entry »

Buying Rental Property Safely
Be careful when buying rental property. We stayed at a motel for
a week one winter. The bill showed twice what it should have,
but since I already paid the correct amount in cash, I thought

when I read a news story about a new owner struggling to make
the motel work, did I realize what was going on.
The owner had been planning to sell. To prepare, she was using
