(another $400. )I’m thinking I should split it with the tenants, but nothing was is in writing.Sound fair?

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to all of this so I'm looking for some advice.

It is specifically "Fair Rental Value" that should be included in your plan.

@Jaime Felber If you have a lot of long-term tenants and the homes are pretty old, many park owners I know usually negotiate a fair price in exchange for just selling the home and receiving lot rent. 

they normally look at the seller to give a lot of seller credits and the home has to pass their fairly rigid inspection criteria.. they dont want first time homeowners in homes that are in need of a lot of repair or deferred maintenance. the program basically is for those with poor credit and little to no money but can toe the line and get into home ownership.. 

I think that if you do the leg work and property acquisition, then 60/40 would be fair.

If you are buying land to sell immediately for a fair profit then how much of the HOA fees & rules apply to your property flip?

Even if they did give me the time of day it doesn't seem very fair that I can't offer much to them in return.

In my limited experience, they add no real value to the process, and like you said, don't really know costs, and while ARV is fairly easy to determine, they are always aggressive on those, too.So, how do you not get taken to the cleaner?  

On the flip side having 2 residences in one building does bring efficiencies from a management/ownership standpoint.Finally, the payment structure you mentioned (30-40% until project completion) is fairly standard for pre-construction properties.
