I bet that forum would have a lot more members than most people would expect.

Your best bet is definitely to speak with local section 8 landlords to see what they are able to charge. 

They should be able to give you a thorough answer to your question.For your utility questions your best bet is to just go out there with your contractor(s) and take a look.Side not: Don't expect to get the same rent on a MH as you would get on a SF.Please, feel free to message me anytime if you have other questions or just want to chat!

Realtors/Brokers: Does any of you consider valuable a unique website that differentiates from others, instead of using the same templates that can be found online by web/SEO companies? 

I'd bet to say some of the best because costs to buy is lower than Charlotte or Raleigh, while rents are steady and increasing.

If you knew that a particular horse would win the race... would you place a bet on that horse?

A corporate guaranteed lease is your best bet.

You are betting on the business doing well, so a lot more goes into screening prospective tenants. 

And you can bet there will be many that feel the same way.I flew to Maui 8 months after 9/11 and tourism numbers were still very low and hotels were significantly affected.  

That's your best bet for finding locals who know the area.
