All specialized lenders (for manufactured houses) say that they offer mortgages if the house sits in a park, not on private land.

I ask because there's a 2 For 1 special he's running and I'd be stupid not to reach out before pulling the trigger on my own. 

Specially in California (SF, LA, etc.), the zoning laws, rent controls, etc. are all generating upwards pressure on the rents by chocking off supply.Hopefully this proposition doesn't pass. 

What are special considerations when purchasing these types of homes?

If you are actually investing a Million dollar, it would be worth your money to talk to someone who specializes in this area. 

Transitioning into our real estate biz, along with supplementation from investment properties would be ideal by the timeframe given would be ideal, but might be too aggressive.

Looking to learn from or network with local like-minded investors and investment specialized realtors !

Most of our tenants are office, retail, and specialized uses however.

@Frank Sanchez I don't know an attorney, but I know a firm that specializes in this, based in Chicago.

Karen, I won't be attending but I can recommend a tip that could save you thousands of dollars: Leave your credit cards at home.Most of the free / low cost seminars give you a few crumbs of information but are mainly sales presentations designed to "upsell" you on more expensive "boot camps" and/or "mentoring programs".They all follow the same classic sales formula, they'll tell you that it normally costs $X (you can even go on their website and see that price) but "today only" or "only for the first N people to sign up" they're putting on a special deal.They'll do the whole "this is how much it would cost individually but here's an incredible package deal" etc.
