@Emily Irish-RyanHi Emily - my duplex is in Milwaukee.

Jon Klaus - all good questions, and probably no really clear answers.To try to give a clear answer, if the property needs rehab, but you do not rehab but just hold it a year and then sell - that could probably be justified as investment rather than inventory, especially if you aren't already categorized as a dealer.

I have talked with a local dealer who sales all of 21st repos in the area and he said he would be willing to put homes in the park and sale them sited.

After cleaning up the mess I was like wow this is how drug dealers do it!

We want to make sure we are attracting the right people, as the area has a mixture of artists, young professionals, drug dealers and low income families who have lived there for years. 

Maybe your dad can sell the place to the drug dealer since they already live there and it seems the officials are on his side anyway.

This is your primary source for investment opportunities.Next, visit all the local manufactured home dealers.

I don't know CA stuff, but with the IRS there is the issue of being classified as a "dealer" for income tax purposes.

In MA if you knowingly rent to a drug dealer, they can seize the property even if you weren't the one dealing.
