Florida is a unique state for MHP law and the insurance has gotten very expensive there too.I recommend checking out @Frank Rolfe's mobile home university content if you haven't already.

However, a different niche such as insurance placements, might very well be in the 70%~ occupancy level but the rents are going to be so much higher that the occupancy rate (comparatively speaking) is irrelevant.

This is a conventional loan where they also cover your PMI (private mortgage insurance).

@tom shallcross summarized this well in another post and just inflate your numbers up for a $665k purchase price and $2300/mo per unit for rent.Borrow 80% which is like $3700/mo for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance.

- Warrney => insurance => make money by delaying & denying claims.6) PMC - finding a good one is TOUGH!

And given #3 above, it leaves about 20% of rent for all other expenses like property tax, insurance and other PM expenses like leasing fee, eviction fee and other minor expenses like for e.g landscaping, pest control etc.

This is not yoursituation, but just to walk through the different thought processesin Holding/Selling that a friend of mine is going through.Helped my friend getinto the Self Storage business and walked him through the wholeprocess from evaluating the market, selecting a site, developing thesite, systems, financing, insurance, etc.

Insurance cost for weather-related disasters is growing to a major concern in many of the southern markets.

Large basement and attic space, new roof and some of the kitchen is already torn out from the current owner. one bedroom does have a closet that will need built. plumbing seems fine, maybe a couple angle stops to change.

Insurance companies are taking a close look at building materials, quality, and updates.
