They were nice and didn't charge me the 10% penalty though.       

A very prominent loan officer in NJ was charged recently for helping borrowers do just this. 

For example, one of the lenders I deal with requires at least a 700 score for "rookie" developers with no experience and requires a 25% down payment and charges 13% rate and 2.0% fees.

Always charge at least some sort of security deposit, and the first months rent up front upon movein.7. 

I own a unique mobile home park in South Carolina that's relatively small (5 acres) comprised of 12 lots (I own 8 of the homes while the other 4 are owner-occupied and charged lot rent) along with a house (3 units). 

With TOU service you charge it at night for 5-7c/kw and use it during the day to arbitrage the price difference. 

Your landlord could also allow the charges to compile until you leave, then deduct it from your deposit. 

None of that is free, but probably well worth $30-$50/month or whatever they charge. 

If I charge him $1,000 a month for the MH, I would get my $12k back in a year.

You should never pick your 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary based solely on their 1031 Exchange fees, costs and charges or the size of the institution.
