MH park rules
I have a couple Q's on park rules and mngrs and how to deal with them.
Most of the parks around here are owner occ. I asked one MH owner if I could rent out the trailer in this park and he was told it was against the law! I called the park mngr and he said it was a park rule. Of course I then asked if I could seller finance it and he said that was leasing and it isn't allowed.
Technically its not leasing right? They purchased the home and I'm just financing it!
If I qualify through the park and buy a trailer, pay lot rent, and follow all other rules then immediately put it back up for sale and find new buyer who also qualifies can they legally stop me?
Some of these park mngrs act like snooty rich people and can be pretty arrogant. What's the best way to deal with them? How can I explain myself so they understand I'm not breaking any rules or laws?
Should I just pretend to be a real applicant who wants to move in permanently?
I also have thought about telling them I'm an investor with a finance company or something but I don't like lying.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
John Williams
