Manufactured Home Rentals in Southern California

[Keeya WangJones]

Hi, Does anyone know any parks that allow Buy and Hold rentals for Manufactured Homes in California? San Diego County? I know most parks want owner-occupied but I am hoping there is one or two decent parks that will allow rentals to get my feet wet in being a landlord at a low cost and do some affordable rehab. Does anyone have a relationship with a park and willing to introduce me to the park manager/owner?

Not a doublewide. Not even a single wide. It's a Park Model RV and the owner is asking 120k. Reason being it's about 300 feet from the beach. Anything near the beach you'll pay a premium for. I have a 2008 Silvercrest 24x36 850sf doublewide going for 375,000 and a 2007 2 story hybrid that I designed and built myself. It's 1130sf and I'm asking 575k for that one.  

Personally I'd stay away from anything made before June 15, 1976. That's a Pre HUD home and not only are they built like trailers you can't get them financed. Not only that there's lots of caustic and carcinogenic chemicals all thought them.
