Wondering if your pads have shared bathroom and have any trouble finding students based on these scenario?

This mobile home park as 29 pads, 11 of which have units already that are not park owned.

Craigslist and Hot Pads are the marketing websites that I use.

your estimates are fairly accurate, but if your willing to buy a park with 750k cash, you could buy a couple hundred pads that produce a lot more over the next 3 years and your capital will be better put to use than developing a park. 

The sound dampening I did was very effective and included the following:- rock wool insulation- acoustical putty pads on the backside of the electrical boxes- mass loaded vinyl- 2X sheets of 5/8” drywall with green glue in between the drywall- acoustical caulk on all remaining seams

We have a mixed use park adjoining our home that is mixed with mobiles and rv pads.

My experience is that they make up exorbitant fees to pad their profit.

The old carpet makes a good drop cloth, kneeling pad and protects the hardwood from dropping a hammer until you get ready to refinish it if that's in the cards and reduces construction traffic on new carpet.Lots of considerations to each job, common sence should prevail and some backward planning needs to be done so you don't put some aspect of the job in front of another making it more difficult
