All of these will need to be updated/replaced at a certain point once it is no longer functional so you need to account for these expenditures when running your numbers.

So rent it but without a management company.And in case anyone needs the Freddie Mac guidelines on Second Homes...here it is:To be eligible, second home Mortgages must:■ Be secured by a 1-unit property owned by an individual who is also the Borrower,occupied by the Borrower for some portion of the year and the property must be: In such a location as to function reasonably as a second home Suitable for year-round occupancy Available for the Borrower’s exclusive use and enjoymentThe property must not be:■ Subject to any timesharing or other shared ownership arrangement■ An ineligible property (e.g., a unit in a Condominium Hotel)■ Subject to any rental pools or agreements that require the Borrower to rent the property, give a management company control over the occupancy of the property, or involve revenue sharing between any owners and the developer or another partyHope this helps! 

You can explain what the entity will look like, how it will function and what kind of protections will be available to anyone wanting to work with you - it is a valuable piece of due-diligence.

We currently use that now as a property management company and it is a lot more robust.

@Lance Hummel welcome to Bigger Pockets,I see there has been numerous discussions on this topic, if you don't get a reply try the search function.

It's a function of networking with brokers and scouring the MLS, LoopNet, etc. 

This is simply built around protecting assets, not a strategy, but should offer some light on the legal side of the function of LLCs. 

Our goal is to restore functionality to doors and trim, “level” is a very relative term and should never be the goal and sometimes is unattainable (i.e. built out of level, remodeled after home settled)

this is the same case with a trailer home, all there connections are set and have complied in the past when they were built, changing ownership is not a change in pre existing non conforming spots. if a trailer is removed and a new one put in, that new trailer would have to conform to the new zoning requirements. the function of the trailer park has not changed to another use, therefore i believe the new owner could have fought that and is not something that usually needs to be looked at before purchasing a property. and as you also said, in your county maybe they want you to do that, but can they legally?
