I would also find out if the rental management contract allows you to manage rentals yourself (AirBnB) in the shoulder season. 

The investor-erica on one shoulder is probably saying "why would you upgrade your house?"

On lease up I shoulder the cost of checks, but in these cases I tell the tenants they have to pay, pass or fail. 

As I rub shoulders with park Owners, Managers, and tenants I'm bound to come across a park deal that will work in my favor.

Right now we're all kind of holding our breath and thinking that this is going to end up resting on the shoulders of the appraisal; hoping the home is not worth what they have offered. 

Next thing you know it was about 3 weeks later and the owner tapped me on the shoulder and called me into his office and asked “what do you think about running the sales dept. what I’m trying to say is the same thing as everyone on here said “ get smiling and get dialing and it will be ok” it’s just fear of the unknown, we all have it at some point in our life but we get past it.start off by looking forward to hearing the no’s for each one gets you more comfortable and closer to a yes.

I would try and paint somebody into a corner that they can't have it both ways - either it's your steps or it's theirs - the respective owner/steward should shoulder the responsibility.  

They owe roughly 100k on the home and really they are wanting to get the burden off of their shoulders and the constant bother of "dealing with tenants".

Given, inspection and government watching over your shoulder may be a slight deterrent.
