I contacted the city of Edmonton and was informed that moving a mobile home is treated the same as building a new home, and all the following applies:Development Permit ApplicationCombined Building, Mechanical PermitBuilding & Mech Safety CodesWiring Electrical PermitUnderground Service Cable PermitElectrical Safety CodesConstruction Water Rates 44¢/$1000 Construction Value Sanitary Sewer Trunk ChargeLot Grading FeeTo my knowledge, unlike a new home, all we would be doing is reconnecting the infrastructure, and considering that no modifications are to be made to the existing plumbing, electrical, sewer or the lot itself, so do all those permits apply? 

I always establish this expecation up front, they pay on time and treat my unit right and I address issues in a timely manner and treat them with respect.

It feels like the GC is treating this major gut rebuild as an after though, or side gig, and not prioritizing it in relation to other jobs he has.

Don't count on appreciation, rather treat it as icing on the cake.

Overall, everyones experience is different and I certainly wouldn't deter anyone from doing anything as long as they do their research and due diligence and don't treat it like a hobby or a "passive" opportunity.

It is likely the case that you can just deprecate the entire building and treat this as a vacancy.

A big part of tenants treating properties badly is because people didn't screen the tenants adequately, so don't make that mistake.

If you are a lender in the Dallas area I can meet up with you personally.Thanks,Richard You will need to treat this as two separate loans.

Listing agent could also treat the buyer as a customer (not a client, no fiduciary duty, not really helping them), but we all know that most buyers don't even know where to find the contracts they need, nevermind how to fill them out or how the buying process actually works... they need a lot of hand-holding and the listing agent won't want to do that extra work that a buyers agent usually does, plus take on extra liability, without extra pay.

As soon as you treat them as one LLC (moving money between them at will.)
