Offers are coming in above asking to compete and small alterations in the price seem inconsequential.  

A 10 year mortgage isnt an excuse to raise rent.Using an SFR for instance, if you are to cash flow, rent at a minimum should equal: Rent=Mortgage payment + Operating Expenses + Required Monthly CF orRent=Total Expenses + Required Monthly CFIf you are told any different, the objective isnt CF.What you will also find is that in many markets, the market rate (what people can pay) for rent may be lower than just the mortgage payment alone or lower than total expenses (mortgage payment + operating expenses), in which case you will have a negative CF -- translation, find a property that actually does CF.

My crystal ball is cloudy on what that will translate to in additional insurance cost.  

However, this is the first translation for me in the mobile home arena and I'm not sure at all how it works with these type of properties.

I'd like to translate this background into more income/opportunity as an agent.

page=402Looks like what you need is an "interior/exterior alteration permit".

You are simply looking at ability to pay.White collar job, high income does not translate to trustworthy only measures ability to pay.

I'm hoping this doesn't translate into being slow on the job site.  

Maybe something is getting lost in translation during the conversation?

Will you stick to your original plan, alter the plan, or scrap the idea and find something else?
