Anyone care to share some light on it?

Who takes care of landscaping and is that built into your cost?

Mods- I'm not sure where this post should go. Please move it to where ever it needs to be. ====basically its questions regarding minimum criteria needed for a completed appraisal.

All,

I'm in the pro...

Larger parks probably have swimming pools, clubhouses, offer storage sheds, etc.On your numbers, I think you might be a bit light on current value, but my opinion is based on a 10% cap rate calc, which might value it at around $80K.

I think you need several light coats of mud to do it right.

Or for the experienced investors in the mobile home can you shine some light before I make any decisions?

Something like a porch light.

Its so quiet you need to check a light on the unit to know its operating.

I'm trying to decide which direction to go vs. my current buy and hold strategy.And I look forward to meeting other members and their opinions, experiences, etc via this great cyber landscape.

Basically I have a rental that is 2700 sq feet with pool and landscaping and right now is using $50/mo for water and sewer (higher in the summer) so I budget $50 for any rental smaller than this with less water usage just to make sure I am not undershooting the value.Same for Electricity and same for gas: Call and ask or ask the owner/tenant what the average bill is.Repairs- I budget 5-10% of purchase price, but only as personal preference, you will figure out what you need as you go along.Vacancy-this is more than most would do, but I collected demographic data on all zip codes in Tucson so I knew the vacancies, employment sectors, house hold size, schools etc of my target areas.
