You have to be aware that deal types and structures that once where in vogue can have the regulatory and legal risks change and are no longer practicable.  An example is deals on wheels by Lonnie Scrugs.  Sure one can do anything as a free wheeling investor until problems happen.  Search on lonnie deals in this forum and read back at least 6 mo.  Yes one can still buy today at $3k fix up and sell with financing for $10k or more and charge 16% interest MHs in parks,,, but read here what issues today you'll be running into.  The most probable risk is unfriendly park managers, the other is its actually not that easy to make money in MHs in parks.  Which is why park buyers give up on home rent and focus on lot rent.  To much to go into why home rent, which includes taking payments for the home is not as easy as it sounds,,, to net net make money.  Once you figure in the value of hours of your time I suspect you'll loose money.  

A few here probably make money, but this is like comparing the results of an expert onto every new person and the mistakes they make a long the way. But best of luck I do agree that it'll be the best $3k education into all aspects good and bad of REI you can buy. :)

BTW I'm a part owner in a 70 pad lot rent park, and own 18 doublewides on their own land and have looked into all aspects and deal types in this business and gave up on lonnie deals in parks before I wasted any time or money.
