I first want to emphasize to real estate investors, the difference between the tax treatment of rental income derived from an active trade or business compared to investments.

There is a chance their unit is also pretty dated compared to the others or others in the same neighborhood.

I started calling other mobile home parks nearby, to get an idea of comparables.

You’re are such at advantage compared to when I purchased my first property back in 2005.

You may find that you can rent a much nicer condo compared to what you would pay on a mortgage for the same number.

Most off market purchases cannot easily be comped with mls properties that comparatively have no risk and are in much better condition).so …Pay for a fixed fee mls listing with the property already under contract.  

I also just generally compared to the 1% rule. 

You should think about what you would offer with regards to your competition and compare rents.

Quote from @Emory Clayton: I'm confused as to how to screen Sec 8 tenants compared to regular 'market rate' tenants.

Since they can't do each property individually, they use comparable sales to make broad generalizations to determine percent changes.
