@Brian T. Allman Definitely check the infrastructure. Try to talk to the contractors who have actually done the work on the park. Who's working on the sewer lines? Be sure to see what they're doing to correct the issue, if any. If not, you'll have to work that cost into your offer. Price out the conversion for the meters. If the park's already working with somebody or if they've done it themselves, check to see how much it cost them per unit. Besides the 5 park owned homes, are the rest owner occupied? Are the rents in line with the market? Or is there upside potential to raise rents? By how much? Just a few questions to keep in mind. Hope that helps!
