You have to subtract the original $230k you paid out of pocket first...which leaves you with $715k.Now, subtract all the lost income (now negative CF) from the months that you had vacancies, Maint. costs, CAPEX, etc...assuming 15% of rent per year, that's about $15k x 15 years = $180k...which leaves you with $535k in virtual profit.IF we just stopped there, you would have gotten $35k/year return (on average).Now, comes the big money losses.You will be operating at an average loss (and this is real money due to cash out of pocket to pay for expenses not covered from rent due to now negative cash flow) per year of at least $15k.If you had invested those losses (and since the source would have been liquid this is not a virtual thing) at a measly 5% per year, and reinvested it all every year, you'd be at almost $800k in actual real money.Anytime you accept hard cash losses, you are losing the benefit of your cash being a "verb" instead of a "noun"...and you lose all the compounded profit from you cash being reinvested and in action...forward action.

Your family is always going to be conservative and its important to listen to them, but I think the price of inaction could be greater.

Because this is a Manufactured Home Community and their laws are a little different than a Real Estate Salesperson's legal responsibilities (I am an inactive Real Estate Salesperson so I know that law, and I know that this would be considered Disclosure Fraud), I'm wondering if it still is Disclsoure Fraud in this case)I've called several attorneys but nobody calls me back.Nancy Neville

I have notified the landlord that we plan on doing that if there's continued inaction on their part but no luck.
