I generally try to put my October through January lease starts on 18 month initial terms to better align with more favorable leasing periods when the units come back to market.

Sounds like a pretty cool property, good luck!

So the property owner can never sell?

Have a frank conversation with the property manager. 

@Bryce Jamison As long as the previous owner keeps up with the maintenance of the home and keeps it in good condition, I tend to favor older homes in established neighborhoods.

Insurance right now is wild, so I'd get a solid broker on your team - I'd be happy to share my contact if that would help.Also, aren't most of the existing insurances shared on the OMs for the properties? 

@Janine Sharma The decision to classify your onsite mobile home park property manager as a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor depends on the degree of control you have over their work.

So, your property must be secured with deterrents to hopefully stop this from happening - but, it's impossible to guarantee security.

I've invested in 6 properties and counting with them.

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.
