I take it you put a lot of sweat equity into this house? Looks great. If it were in my 'hood rather than Akron area, it would rent for $1500+.

I wish I kept track of time invested. I'd say my total man hours were about 200-250
If I could move this house about 5 miles away, it'd rent for $1000 max. Still cheap compared to the rest of the country :-)

Amazing!
Very impressive job indeed. Seems like a nice ROI, too (assuming relatively low taxes?).

Thanks for the pictures. I was interested in your post since I am also in the Akron area. You've done a very nice job. It looks fresh and clean. I hope your tenants treat the place well and aren't a lot of trouble.

Seal up good with white mildew proof silicone at the seam and you'll be good for 10 years or so before you'll want to scrape it off and redo it.
Or get some new plastic toe rail and run that all around with some silicone and a few brads.
Nice work!

1) It was either that or Detroit for a $22k house.
2) Can't you tell from the pics of the house? The flashings clearly indicate Central Ohio.
3) I happen to know thats where thefed is.

You could always step up to this. Its John Galts "Waterfront property", but I'll bet you can get it for a little bit less since it was put under about 8' of water last year...
And yeah, thats an old manufactured home that was dropped on the edge of a floodplain...
