the few MHPs I have owned over the years whilie reposition plays IE cleaning the tweakers out.. were a little easier.. and once stabilized Much easier.. we just gave them the MH and just charged space rent.. that is what I do when ever I buy a park I either sell those single wide's for a few grand or give them to the tenants.. so I value them purely like a lender would  just on pad rent.. not on the house rent..   

My local codes allow for only a 3ft (or 10% of the lot width) side yard width, so a 30ft wide lot allows for a 24ft wide house.

CA is a foreign country.. and I learned this as a HML there.. not nearly as cut and dry as being a lender in the US>. the judges in CA have wide latitude to cram down your rate.. give borrower more time etc etc.. 

The general idea is that we “go wide” in accumulating a number of properties, and then at some point we “go deep,” by paying them down or off completely.

I do not have the means to address homelessness on city wide basis.I think I would try it on these initial few tents and if anyone else moves back to the same location in the next 6 months, I would look for a different solution.Good luck.

It’s widely report d that people substantially underestimate the value of donated items.

Not too expensive and cover a wide variety of topics.

I’d be careful throwing around numbers like “the California housing market went down by about 35%”CA is a huge state with a wide variance in prices - but the Bay Area was most certainly not hit as hard as you suggest. 

While true that cash flow is widely considered the end-all-be-all on BP, I'll argue the reason is that due to most people's education level, an appreciation play IS gambling.

Hardwood requires a nailing surface and I doubt joists are sufficient.In attics, I've seen wide pine boards used as the flooring with no subfloor.
