sounds like you have a great opportunity. i recommend the contact for deed route. as you mentioned you can get a lower down and more flexible terms. if you can get a 10-12 year ballon payment you should have no problem refi'ing out prior to that with a conventional loan and pay off owner contract. i would try to get the per unit down. you could try to show the total amount you would be paying when you add interest into the equation and see if he will come down on asking price, at least to market if not below. as well as play up the continued cash for with zero management headaches. ultimately if it cashflows well and you have good fixed debt for 10 plus years my experiences has been that price per unit is less of a factor. cash flow is king.

Some things to look out for are the fees. environmental fees, excessive weight fees, another trick of the industry is billing cycles. some will bill monthly so you are billed 12 times a year others may bill every 4 weeks so you get billed 13 times a year (52 weeks/4= 13 bill)based on my experience the big guys tend to play ball and kill on volume to shut out little guys. also these little guys rely on the big guys station to dump, so they charge a base fee and mark it up or put add on to make money.

I'm looking for other local investors to meet up with and learn the game and the area from a real estate perspective.
