State Farm has been difficult to work with because they are canceling my policy due to their requirement that I have it occupied with a tenant within 30 days after I purchased my recent home.

You value the park using whatever method (Capr rate, DCF, IRR ect) you want and look up the appraised value of the MHs.Figuring out intrinsic value is difficult enough without muddying your MHP valuation with rental income and expenses. 

I've always thought that the Sandwich Lease Options has alot of moving parts and seems like it would be difficult to actually execute in the real world with real people involved... 

There is no deed of trust or note so there is no lender worried you will default.Financing a property in the name of an LLC is more difficult unless you can show credit history for the LLC itself or that it can put up collateral such as other real property equity.

I'd look for optimistic, less populated areas with work / life balance, basic conveniences and online shopping.

They're pretty nasty tenants and I'm expecting that they're going to make this as difficult as possible for us.

It seems this may be a difficult expense to estimate given that it is not entirely clear what will be included in a property's "repair and maintenance costs", but maybe some of you have a rule of thumb or method to help you estimate these expenses? 

I have a real estate license and a FL state roofing license, plus have plenty of contacts in property management and in different construction fields in South Florida - however, I am finding it difficult even with access to the MLS and using LoopNet to find any deals worth their salt from Monroe County up to Broward County.I'm lookin to buy and hold invest and prefer a tri or quad plex multi-family. 

This is a much more difficult proposition and you will most likely end up in or around DC.
