How many years ago did you buy your mole home?
Thirty-five thousand isn't enough to buy an empty lot within Show Low city limits. The cheapest one I found is $41,500, but only 6,098 square feet, although there is a quarter acre for $44,000.
Here is a mobile home on a quarter acre 15 minutes away:
$139,000 2 bedrooms, 2
baths, and 924 square fee It is the cheapest mobile home I can find without an HOA and not in a 55+ community.
I have looked at rundown mobile homes before and thought it was perfect for demolishing. I could buy the property for the cost of a lot and it comes with connections!
This one is as old as me, but I think that it looks too nice to tear down.
For how long would I need to rent it out for that to change?!
The problem is that I need one renter who will trash it over like 10 years.
If they trashed it in one year I would call the cops and sue them!
Let's say they do just enough damage in 10 years that it isn't worth fixing. You keep the deposit, they take you to small claims court, and you hand the bailiff an entire photo album of 100 parts of the house before and after. Then you say "Your honor, it was a total loss, here are pictures of its demolition.
I guess that you shouldn't pull permits for a larger site-built house before you go to court!
