It seemed a little crazy because although I had effectively no debt, I was working part-time at a call center making $13.50/hr and I had very little savings.

They literally moved a waste pipe from one side of my house to the center.

I would also reach out to the head of The Ohio State Center for Real Estate.

Here's an example of how rewarding this can be --- hopefully there is no one that is of Santa Believing age reading this forum -- haOur Washer died at the facility - I had to run and buy one at Lowes - the guy that helped me looked like St Nick - somehow we got to talking and he in fact played santa -- so we booked him -- he'd never came to a senior living center before - so it was new to him too - we advertised a family event online - didnt know how many people would come - Our Nurse is AWESOME at decorating - I handed over the business card to her, our exec dir and our activities dire - and said spend away - they have our place looking really Christmasy - and set up our TV room with a spot for Santa to sit, tree the whole 9 and made 20 gift bags for kids -- All of our residents but 4 (we have 33 or 34 now - cant remember the census) participated in some form or another which is an amazing participation rate for us - the smiles --- DAMN that was rewarding - I didnt know if they'd like it or not - they are often forgotten on the holidays -- our residents with heavy dementia even responded well and lit up with Smiles -- We took Santa around to the few rooms of folks that couldnt make it down to the activity room for 1 on one --- He wants to come back next year and we will set it up.Check out our FB -- we have photos there --- those are the little things that make it worth it. 

You have the Denver Tech Center and Denver University down there and house prices have already shot up.

Seems ideal for a warehouse or distribution center 5, corner lot closer to a freeway My worry is : 1.

I bought one just last December in Nampa (about 25 miles from Boise city center.  30 min drive)

Also consider that one of the major profit centers for mobile home parks is in raising rents regularly so you will have unpredictable expenses when it comes to projecting your lot rent moving forward. 

If a LO is in a call center, most of that is being harvested by middle management leaving them with pennies on the dollar.

It's an empty warehouse building that they would like to develop into a new recreation center/ gym.
