What’s your game plan for managing the park — hands-on or hiring a property manager?  

Cash for keys is probably not effective since they don't have anywhere to go [most LL are not likely to rent to them] however, I plan to have that conversation and offer any assistance with moving.Thanks again

Are you planning to invest out of state? 

When considering a vacation rental property, it’s essential to have a backup plan and understand the numbers for annual leasing.

It’ll save you headaches later if she tries to escalate things.Document Everything: Take pictures, write down the history of your interactions etcOffer a Transition Plan: Just like my client, I’d recomend offering her a temporary storage option nearby, or even a small rent discount, to show you’re not trying to kick her out - just keeping the property safe and up to code.

In some places there are a few days grace period to allow for rent that is sent via mail (which I don't get because if it is due on the 1st, plan ahead). 

- You can buy using FHA 203(k) loan which allows you to finance repairs into the purchase mortgage.If you find you like being a landlord, you can BRRRR a property every year.You can also start BRRRing rentals w/o planning to live in them.

Of course, the floor plan has to be conducive to this.

@Trace P. again, why would the government logically spend YOUR tax dollars paying more than market rent for an S8 tenant?

I would probably work with an attorney in North Carolina (or wherever you live) to do some estate planning since you do have young kids.
