Worst case scenario, you can also offer to pay half of their closing costs in order to incentivize them to accept your offer, as well.

I am exploring the possibility of not only fixing things but doing a renovation to bring an old half bath into a fully functional bath, renovate the entrance and foyer among other things and possibly even an addition to the house.

I took the plunge and joined about a year and a half ago.

I'm paying more in property than a Phoenix investor and his house is worth twice mine but half the property tax and Arizona has had better appreciation than Indiana. 

We also had a specific end clause to the lease at the end of the 3 year period so the tenant would be forced to relocate or renegotiate at the end of the lease.Our tenant ended up passing away half way through the lease.

It takes a month to a month and a half for companies to report and for it be reflected on your score. 

Don't pay for a park's future potential if you are the one who will be doing all the work.The $70k the two TOH rentals are worth at an 8 CAP probably doesn't cover the drawdown the house value will have sitting in a half vacant mobile home park.  

I'm generally skeptical and only half convinced by this explanation.

They have a nice price point and are one of the easiest to use.
