Anyway, my strategy (exit as well) has been based off of them, so I am just trying to do my due diligence in establishing a relationship for not just this deal, but hopefully more to come.I would be the grantor/applicant and FICO is 775+ so getting approved is not an issue.  

Good luck on your endeavors and thank you for your service!

I've heard that some seasonal mobile home parks shut off service to the entire park for the winter.

Besides that, some just want the quick fast money, no application, no credit check, etc. 

I have already taken the required class work, had my finger prints done, paid the application fee yaddayaddayadda.... and now study everyday to pass the real estate exam.

Sounds like you are on the right path in offering services for gaining knowledge.  

I would be careful about bumping the rent to include these services; tenants can get real careless with water consumption if they are essentially getting all they want for a fixed price. 

The real advantage of Class A properties is they are likely to hold their value and continue to appreciate, be easier to rent if not priced too high and draw a more financially stable applicant.

Do you think market rent will be applicable for that particular block given that blight?

I would be interested in offering my services as an Interior Designer and/or estimator of rehabs, along with my extensive construction and supply contacts.
