Is there a dealer you can ask?

Crime tends to be in pockets, essentially around the dealers.. drive by late at night, ask neighbors, etc..  

What is important is that you understand how capital gains and  SE tax (per RE dealer status) can drastically affect net profits; it helps you get a better perspective on what projects to pursue (based on margins) when you start comparing things from a risk adjusted basis.

I am also a small car dealer and sell a few cars a month.

Ive also been researching dealers in the Sacramento/Reno area.

Thank you @Mathhew Irish-Jones for the advice.

I've yet to test them by not submitting the documents, but it is a nuisance.Also, during the financial crisis my friends who were manufactured home dealers lost their line of credit because the bank decided to stop financing that type of business. 

My family members aren't drug dealers or anything like that but we are looking in the area of about $80K in private money and I know there are limits on deposits and transactions with banks that sometimes require an explanation. 

I'm a general & Manuractured home contractor, manufactured home dealer, real estate broker, developer and property manager from North San Diego County and would love to meet others from this area to bounce some investment ideas off of.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned here, but one major reason to consider setting up an entity even for one property, is to avoid a dealers status by the IRS down the road.
