Analysis: Mobile Home Park in Western Illinois

This is the first deal that seemed to make sense to spend the time to analyze.
Deal OR No Deal?  That is the question.

What should I be looking at? 

I'm actually interested in cashflow, but would consider a value add, wholesale, or flip.

SUGGESTIONS and WISDOM are highly sought. 

PRICE
Asking Price: $287,000 (owner financing available)
Number of Spaces: 50 (27 rented, 22 vacant according to spreadsheet $225 average monthly space rent)
Current Gross: $82,620 (not verified yet - how to best do this? bank statements?)
Current Net: $56,520 (expenses not verified - how to best do this? ?)
Year Built: 1960's (units seem to be on the older side but not owned by the park)
Parcel Size: About 11 Acres
Cap Rate: 19.69


INFRASTRUCTURE
Vacant Spaces: 22
Number of Park Owned Homes: None
Road Type: Concrete/Asphalt/Gravel
Flood Plane: No

UTILITIES (It seems that most park buyers like utilities to be connected to city water and sewer. Is this possible and at what expense?)

Water: 2 Private Wells (EPA Compliant)
Sewer: Private Sewer System (EPA 5 year Permit renewed in Jan, 2015) 
Electric: Billed Directly to Tenants
Gas: Billed Directly to Tenants
Cable TV: Billed Directly to Tenant

Trash: Billed Directly to Owner

LOCATION

I don't know much about the area since I'm out of state.  I see that the population is stable.  It's not falling, not increasing.
