It's tough to work with corporate seller's.However, there is a TON of investable inventory in the Atlanta market right now that is institutionally owned where there process is very ridged.

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

The process is easy:1) You’ll receive a disarmingly simple one-inch-thick three-ring binder containing your plan documents.

This ensures you will be notified if your tenants cancel their coverage or have a lapse.Adding you as an additional insured would open you up to any claim they would make which  would be a huge risk because those claims would follow YOU for any other purchases you would intend to make for at least 5 years.Your homeowner/landlord policy will provide the liability protection if something was to happen.

Rinse and repeat this process over time.

California has seen huge uptick in home insurance, I'd imagine Santa Cruz has a high fire insurance

Once you have a PM put it on market for rent your friend is more then welcome to go through the process with them.
