Unless you are building Rental units, the SF Retail market construction market is not doing well, hopefully your builder is borrowing money at sub 10% interest rates.  4 years ago, a lot of builders were only factoring in 3% for total loan costs, I would think that the carry costs would be 10% or more currently.  3.

Be careful when doing business with family unless you are paying full retail value for their work.

Remember though your not paying retail price... buying all five at one price should be more of a wholesale price.Left the maintenance person with free rent out of the calculations... that is for you to decide after you buy the park. 

I have not seen the issue much though unless its retail that got converted on unit 1, is that the case? 

I'm a furniture repairman for a retail company only located in the north east.

@Kevin KiteI work with a very motivated cannabis lender who goes up to $30mm check size for retail or grow ops. 

Then since the houses are empty for a period of time, they are subject to vandalism, theft, and sqautting. 

You are compensated for taking that risk by getting to pay less than retail for the property.  

Like a retailer who needs to sell “dead” inventory at a large loss.  

The options they gave us were 1) leave the panels in place but get no benefit and do no harm to them 2) purchase the panels (we were quoted the full retail price which is ridiculous) 3) sign a new agreement IF AND WHEN we wanted to.
