If the vacancy alone is only 1 month ($580) that sets you back another 13 months at $45/month if your driver is to rehab and re-rent. 

I believe there's huge demand for MHPs due to many economic drivers and have a similar underwriting process with much less expense and headache to apartments.  

A taxi driver charges you a lot of money just to take you around the corner.

That way lies madness and despair.

Regardless of how mad a person is that are renting, most of those people will not do anything to change their situation.

Welcome to the madness!

Last and possibly most important,  is the application does not provide the landlord sufficient legal information such as drivers license, social security number, etc... 

Driver's license and US Passport?

@Rodney Miller What do you see as the primary regional drivers of growth or employment for the next ten years?

I'll end with this thought: we are in an ongoing process to refine our floor plans, to eliminate all the cost drivers possible, while also balancing keeping the units desirable to renters and the future owners of the properties.
