Otherwise, they will start manufacturing supposed mold issues or pest issues, and they may even cause damage and then say you're neglecting the property and it's uninhabitable and call the building inspector, etc.So, maybe there's a middle ground. 

I own two manufactured homes on a single parcel.

Its a city with some pretty major crime issues, a decaying manufacturing base etc.in 1970 Stl, Had 622K people, it is at 319K in 2010, and hearing it might drop below 300 in the next census.I just don't think its a place I would want to be investing without being experienced in the city.

Turns out auto manufacturers are making wire covering out of soy and other products that is "rat food" and making the rodent / auto problem worse.   

But, if you guys can afford to do the septic and any other improvements, you can probably make a profit just by doing that.If you can't afford to finance the improvements, you might look into wrapping the loan up with a construction loan.Sometimes, you can even get a FHA loan to do so.Another option would be to get a loan from a manufactured home dealer.

Unless, you can afford the possibility that this person ends up moving a bunch of crazy people into their apartment, starts manufacturing drugs, gets a pitbull, whatever, chasing your good tenants out, causing damage, the cops being called.....and then you have a heck of a time getting them out and the entire time saying to yourself....man, I should have stuck to my criteria.Let another landlord give them a chance. 

I would call the manufacturer.
