I’m hoping the landlord will allow us to just pay for the next month while we wait on closing and moving our equipment and inventory over, but I’m curious what they can legally do to make us vacate should they become unhappy with the situation. 

However if you go outside of city limits then the county has more lax requirements and they are subjective about what is an MHP versus what is not - sometimes it's 4 homes, sometimes more.Most water wells can support multiple homes, it's more about the treatment equipment sizing (e.g. chlorinators, filtration systems) and ability to keep up with demand, and also regulatory requirements of water testing once you have 15+ homes - it becomes an EPA thing instead of your state DEQ. 

Is the person who has never invested in investment real estate but just sold their primary house or farm or small business better equipped than me to analyze if a syndication deal on a 50 unit apartment deal is 'safe' or not?

Maybe arrange your financing ahead of time for a second deal and put 30% down on another identical deal. you’ll still have half a million left for reserves or a third I dentical deal if you have other reserves. 

On the state side, in New York the law states that the following is exempt from transfer taxes: "a deed that effects a mere change of identity or form of ownership or organization but only to the extent that the beneficial ownership remains the same." 

You really have to let go of your attachment to junk, even useful or seemingly valuable items or equipment.

The most reliable comps are where they all are identical in bed/bath/garage and within that 20% of size.

What it really is they make you buy a more efficient equipment and the cover the cost between basic to upgrade.

I spoke with a the city assessor in Tosa a while ago they said they are looking to have the properties on a street be correctly positioned to each other, meaning that they want to identical houses being assessed the same.

RUBS you may not even need any equipment as they just ratio the water bill based on either a percentage of the water bill each month, square footage of each apartment, number of people in each apartment, etc.
