If you are willing and able to make future loans in their park, that should be of value to them and gives you something to negotiate with.The lesson here is never, never, make a loan on a manufactured home in a land lease community if you do not have a decent relationship with the park owners and a written agreement regarding lot rent and other fees the park may feel is due them.

So I think this is entirely manufactured to serve her interests.She is a paralegal; as has been noted it is never a good idea to rent to lawyers or paralegals.

@Craig Jennings,Knowledge is key to enduring success.As a safeguard, I would recommend you first develop a history of experience in the various segments of manufactured homes.

I see unemployment and dropping prices for oil driven areas and increases in manufacturing and agricultural areas. 

If you want to use these with a pad make sure you get one approved by the manufacturer, usually very thin rubber or closed cell urethane.

I finally talked my dentist into making a loan, for something like $30,000, which I used to erect a manufactured home on a lot and sell it.
