I don't have a basis or see a reason to speculate on the utilities set up of most MHPs in the 3.68 million square miles of the USA.

But I was going into the deal without the focus on appreciation because I don't like to speculate too much on investments. 

I'd tell the speculator to stick it just as a matter of principal.

Again, this is my speculation....

That said, I'm sure there are plenty of TK folks that are totally professional so I'm not picking on them--just speculating on the source of the OP's experience as described in the post.

The costs are not as much as you would speculate.

I believe the seller is motivated to sell due to financial difficulty but that is solely based off of speculation.

If only for the purpose of negotiating and convincing others to buy based on your speculations of what you can get once built out. i.e. if lots are small and set backs are large then it might only limit those lots to the SFR or really small duplex instead of a 4-plex. 

Thank you Chris Clothier.Those are my speculation from the communications with MI.

With the improvements and and market upswing I speculate it is worth around $270 now.
