I have seen where owners split out the ownership to a separate LLC for the home and operate them almost like a lonny dealer and the park LLC only shows pad value. 

Getting a dealer's license and set up with 21st Mortgage or a manufacturer's program can make this a little bit easier to handle as well - far easier than trying to infill used homes!

Like most high paying ventures real estate requires human interaction.

We are humans and want to be sympathetic to tenant situations, but at the end of the day it's part of the deal its how we make money. 

There have been many helpful comments about it, but there has also been much confusion.If anyone here can tell us how to operate as a Lonnie dealer and still be compliant, please tell us.

A human being will need to be dispatched to repair that vehicle.

Our civil engineer no fee's gave them equity.. our land surveyor no fee's gave equity... and of course all the hundreds of salesmen that came and went over th 25 years all worked on commish.. so only over head was office and secretarial staff all others got paid when we all got paid.. made expanding easy.my thought to put my company together the way I did came more from the frustration of PM in the out of state SFR space.. as we know its a major issue.. so my thought was lets make them partners.. so when they are managing 1000 houses my 50 they also own.. human nature when your PM rolls up and its his house too.. surprising how the maintenance cost get cut by a bunch and how our houses stayed full and rents came in..

Don't expect them to get everything they need on the first try (We are human).

They are intertwined and not mutually exclusive. 1- paying the least you can in the shortest amount of time to achieve your goals. 2- using empathy to help the process and for legit human empathy.  

Over the past 6 months or so I have been working with one of the local mobile home dealers.
