You buy an Apple phone or do a Google search in Kentucky and it pads pockets in the Bay Area.I am not a Bay Area resident or fan boy, just looking at this logically and as someone who has done business in the tech field for 20 years.

(What's the difference between a MH Park and a just bunch of MH lots together, I don't know)Around this county, MH lots are gravel and a concrete pad is nigh unheard of.There are currently other new MH parks starting up in Walker county.I'm just curious as to the pitfalls of starting a "park" (or just a bunch of MH lots with power and water with meters) on my 4 acres.Obviously, I'll have to pay for the following:- any leveling of land, which is mostly level already- gravel drives from road and for lots- water run and metered to lots- electricity run and metered to lots- septic systems for each lotAny input like "DON'T DO IT!

So when we complain that the intellectually and physically disabled man who has his voucher, SSI, and Medicaid-paid family care all being hijacked by his extended family so that they can all use his one bedroom unit as a crash pad, and a place to get high, and to terrorize the neighbors and the LL, we suddenly find that the agency has "accidentally" not paid their portion, or that it's perfectly acceptable to them that a tenant gives one day's notice that they're moving out, and we wind up not getting paid.We have also had Sec 8 offer to pay us 125% of market value (and in our opinion, probably 150% of market value) to house an enormous immigrant family that lives as if they were still living in the stone age. 

This includes digging and pouring concrete posts pads,and installing steel jack across the basement.The rear foundation wall is being removed.

On upper floor apartment units, you should have carpet with high quality pad.

For people who don't know it, in a few words, the PILOT program offers significant tax brakes for 10 years if the owner invest $1M in renovation.

If I financed them with private money, would the concrete pad still matter?

Something simple and quick without padding and fluff.

Their rates are usually higher because they pad fees for themselves - commission or whatever you want to call it. 

Feb 2022 we cash out refinance all available equity from our existing properties to pad our reserves, complete these new purchases and shift to a more liquid position.
