Saw one hauled down the highway recently (with below zero value, counting disposal)..For a shield, maybe show them what a duplex sold for ten years ago in your area versus a mobile and where they are today in terms of appreciation (you could also make a good case on cash flow, especially with park/lot fees, but for a simple "wow" figure, that may do it)...The ones on a lot that are affixed to the ground do better here, but the ones in  the parks are personal property here (and I suspect elsewhere) and you get killed on the lot fee, and the construction is not ideal for durability in my climate. 

You may have better luck on a national scale.  

The only house flipping that seems to be going on in my area is from one company, Nation One Realty Group, Inc.

My main beef was the companies I was talking to (several national brands) require you to have your auto insurance and/or primary with them as well and they require you to carry max type insurance which cost more.

Cypress Park is great-- it's not as known as larger neighborhoods in NELA because it is simply less population.  

I have found some sites provide considerable due diligence type information and others treat it like a national security secret. 

I fell from a cliff when I was 17, landed on my head on a boulder that was split in two and just under the water at Malibu Creek State Park, where I drown.

And just me, but I'd have parked my car, got out, and said "here I fu$$ing am, what's the problem"?
