I suggest you enter private money goldmine in search botton at top right of the screen and read the previous posts....here is one that gives good perspective as well as a link to legitimate private lenders.http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/1488...

With all the measures they have, it's never been an issue to my knowledge and the neighbors would let me know in no uncertain terms, as they had a poorly managed STR in the neighborhood previously. 

I think you can through BP or through the aforementioned REI meet ups more than likely.i am inclined to agree with a previous poster in that i'm not sure driving for dollars will necessarily yield you what you are looking for.Network with as many other MF investors as possible in your area and find an agent that knows the market and can at the very least set you up on an MLS search for your criteria.Coupled with BP's deal analysis calculator you can then begin underwriting properties you receive from the MLS with your agent or on your own to better understand your market and tailor your expectations moving forward.I'm an investor focused agent that focuses on MF and while we are not in the same market if you have any questions about moving forward with MF LTRs i'd love to see how i could help.

I also have a degree in mathematics from an Ivy League college and I'm smarter than I sound or look, so I apologize if I threw you off with the word cute.

They did comment that the previous owners did not allow that, and I know through some research of my own that many parks don't. 

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

I think his previous plan was to ignore this and hope it all goes away.

I'm data driven and would love to immerse myself in IL, AL, MC specific property, demographic and investor-centric data sources the same way I've done in my previous area of focus.

While the same comments would apply, the previous Portuguese government enacted a law in 2023 that severely restricted certain types of short-term rental in certain areas and that law has been abolished by the new government because they realized it wouldn't solve the problem.

That new owner then makes the payments to the lender even though the loan stays in that previous owners name.
