Restrictions on replacing current trailers valid?

[NICHOLAS E.]

Hello All!

Loving this forum, thanks for all the info.

I am currently considering a deal on a very small park as a way to test if MHP's are going to be for me or not. Based on everything I have read and heard, it seems like I will love it, but still want to start cautiously. The village the current deal is located in has several zoning ordinances which they claim prevent the park owner from replacing current trailers with newer, or from adding MH's to the two open concrete pads. (Both legally zoned)  My current inexperienced understanding is that you can NOT be prevented from adding or replacing trailers so long as the pads themselves have been grandfathered in and are legally zoned. Is my understanding correct, or is the municipality actually able to prevent one from replacing or adding additional homes on existing pads? The numbers look great as-is, but I would feel much better knowing I might have more flexibility long term. 

Thanks again for all the great info on here?
