Has anyone actually had any experience using a hard money lender in NC?  We are in Eastern NC and our local bank merged and quit doing our type of loan.  Can anyone recommend anyone?  We are not first timers.  

@Rachel H. I did go in person and they barely even looked at me and didn’t help me at all. I think I have figured it out. I found someone at the DMV investigations department that was very helpful.

@Chris Martin I'm not an idiot and thank you for referring to me as one.  If I could find an attorney to help me then I would certainly throw my money at them to figure this out.  Unfortunately, I am having to figure this out on my own because no one deals with this or is too busy. Owning a multifamily property in this state is new for us.  We have owned rentals in other states but they are all different.  I only came here asking for advice for our situation that is a little bit of a gray area.  Because this thing is registered as a vehicle and has a tag, the rules are different. I was just hoping someone had gone through this and could share their experience.  The lease (from the previous owner and has transferred to us) says that we can move it and use force to do so.  I am just hoping there is an easier way.  Right now they are considering it as abandoned property since he doesn't live there and the power and electricity are turned off.

@Chris Ebert Thank you for your help.  I have tried calling several lawyers in my area and I cannot get one to call me back.  I was hoping someone has dealt with this before and could tell me how the process went with their situation.  I would gladly pay an attorney but I cannot find one to help me.  This is why I am here.  This is our first time dealing with a rented lot/RV type situation.  Thank you again.

@Rachel H. Thank you for replying.  I inquired and they told me to get a lawyer and wouldn't tell me how to do anything.  I have also contacted several lawyers and not one has returned my call.  This is so frustrating.

I am looking for advice on how to deal with a tenant who has not paid lot rent.  We just purchased a mobile home park in NC and have acquired some tenants.  Some of the lots have RVs.  We have someone who has not paid his rent this month.  He does not live in this travel trailer and the electricity and water (his responsibility) are turned off. Is the process the same as evicting a tenant?  Or where can I find some info about this?  I have read through the Chapter 42 statutes but it isn't clear to me.  If someone has gone through this and could share how they handled it, I would appreciate any tips.

@Chris Martin I understand that it is not ours.  I don't want it to be.  I just want him to move his RV from the lot that he is not paying for.  He has not paid and has told me several times that he will pay tomorrow. I was hoping someone would have gone through this process and could tell me what they did and what rights we have legally.  He does not live in the RV if that matters. 

I have read the landlord and tenant statutes but I’m unsure about how it works with an R/V. He doesn’t live in it but it’s still there and his 10 days ends today. What do we do with the r/v? Is there somewhere that talks more about this situation?

I thought you have to give the tenant 10 days to pay after they are late.  Can you tell me where to find more info about how many days you have to give them?  We have a tenant that didn't pay.  We gave them a 10 day notice to pay or quit.  Was that wrong?  We are new to this and have been reading and studying the landlord tenant act but everything is so gray.
