Hey Team-

As a buyer, would you include a personal letter along with all the state required notification letters explaining your general plans for the park? The idea is to help elevate resident stress and maybe save them some sleep.

We have no plans to move everyone out and redevelop the land etc. I wouldn't go into any more detail than that.

My attorney says it is okay to do. But Should I?

Thanks- 

@Shawn Dulan, there are some great benefits to non-profits in the RE world (I sit on two separate non-profit housing boards).

For example, in some cases early access to HUD homes (must be around as a NP for 3 years before you can apply for this), access to government capital/low interest loans, and the ability to apply for grant money.

For all of these benefits you must be actively working as a NP though, not simply filed as one.

@Nate Hayes, this is really a cost vs value question. Sure, it cost you $250, but the value of paying it? It saves any reputation damage within your friend group and in the local investment community. And that is priceless.

@Leigh S., That's awesome! No luck contacting him on facebook yet, any ideas of another spot I may be able to reach him?

Wow, so many great responses in here. From elephant bones, @Parker Eberhard, to enough fire power to overthrow a small government, @Nathan Gesner, BP members have found it!

You don't get these kind of stories from investing in S&P index funds....!

@Doug M. That is insane. Awesome and sad piece of history there. Quite the find.

@Chris Myers, that is incredible! I'm trying to imagine how it felt picking it up and realizing what it meant. Must have been a moment of awe for sure. 

@Sylvia B. What happens if there is a "D"? Super curious about this. Did @Susan Grinde potential find some real hidden treasure? 

@Nathan Gesner I was hoping you'd chime in. WY is one of the wildest, weirdest and most wonderful states in the country, hands down. With all your properties, I figured you'd have some greats tails. But... I never, ever expected anything like this!  

Payday for sure. Jaw is still on the ground....

@Susan Grinde. Thanks for sharing- some amazing history you uncovered. I've never seen that plank style production before. Looks tenant proof! Super cool you left some easter eggs for future rehabers.

@Matt M. You're talking my language. Love me some pinball. Have three machines currently and always looking to add to the collection. A couple of dusty old pins is an amazing leave behind!

@Jim K. Your posts man, they're always cracking me up. Never change!

@Amanda Sokol So cool! Wonder what the story with that is?!? A buried gun....?!

@Jennifer T. I bet those leftovers helped ease the pain of a resident dashing out in the night! Crazy how they couldn't pay rent but could have (and abandon) a 50" TV. Some peoples priorities....
