Building a house is a very interesting process indeed.Most recently we put a steel roof on our residence, which was quite different from typical asphalt roof, that I'm used to installing.Thanks for the question/post, very good topic!

@Jason Baldwin Of course you want to check all the sites and pound the pavement yourself but this is also a case where you can use the power of relationships. 

You're out there putting feet to pavement and searching for the right deal!

I would recommend spending your time networking with more brokers, as well as hitting the pavement to contact sellers directly.

One winter, the folks who were supposed to be filling potholes would drive the asphalt to a remote location and dump it instead of filling the holes until the city got wise to that.

I don't if the park has gravel or asphalt roads, but either way fixing those can get expense and being in the PNW makes those repairs more likely than say New Mexico since you get far more rain. 2. you'll get more fidelity on this once you see five years of tax record, but if the owner has run this park at a 13% expense ratio, other surprises will pop up.

I'm sure you know this but when the rubber hits pavement that's when you learn the numbers.

However this takes time to both research, and a lot of time grinding the pavement trying to find sellers willing to do owner financed deals cheap enough to make it worth your time.  

I was charged $25k to bring I new electrical, and brought in more gravel since we didn't have to asphalt the road.

It's a standard asphalt shingle roof on a 1.5 story SFR.
