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.

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.
