@Jordan Mangano I own a RV park for low income tenants - 16 pads.

Isn’t the advantage of MHP ownership the fact that you own the land (pad sites), have limited maintenance and limited management, and that tenants tend to be long term because mobile homes are costly to move? 

Use the "search the site" feature of BP and you will find a wealth of good info on the topic of "smoke odor".We remove carpet and pad. 

I am thinking anything from simple level camping pads for tent, van conversion, or RV use.

It would be like putting a lien on someone's truck because they owe you pad rent.  

I’m considering options like building a single-family home for STR or creating a small RV park with a few pads, but I'm open to other ideas.

G'Day Hughston,The best advice I could give would be to not invest out of state unless you buy turnkey.But that's just me being biased.The second best advice I can give is to focus more on the people that you will be working with over the stats/demographics of a specific area.I'm sure that this has been covered many times in the various BP books but to this day it rings true.You will heavily have to rely on the folks on the ground.They will either make or brake your investment so choose them wisely.If you buy the best house, on the best street, in the best area with the best capital growth projections.But your property manager is incompetent or a cheat.You will loose money.So, team first, area second.Much success

I am in Oregon, so looking out of state in Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina.I agree with the group so far that the terms seem padded.

Larger gravel spaces, concrete pads with picnic tables, small storage sheds included in each lot. 

That will allow areas outside of the slab to be less affected and limit the required work to place the pads on even ground.
