I will always remember the post that we were in a discussion, and we were talking about a commercial building and a buy/sale of a ongoing manufacturing company along with the real estate it may own.

I don't even deal with manufactured homes at all unless they have some significant acreage.2.  

I had a business partner whose father built up a manufacturing company, sold it, became wealthy and died.

We would cultivate retail stores and manufacturers to determine their needs--usually with samples--and then do repeat business with them. 

Back in 2008 my families manufacturing company laid off 100 ppl and by 2014 we were down to 24.

Using a broker, I obtained a 30% DP, 7-year fixed loan from Manufacturers Bank, a regional lender.

The companies that manufacture them also work with lenders to finance them.

You need to talk to your state's manufactured housing association (MHA).

You might be able to contact the NY Manufactured Housing Association for insights on leases and evictions. * Know if rent control is a factor and if that changes your underwriting * Find out rules around Rent increases, notifications * Check to make sure your leases are compliant - if there are rent to own, make sure those are compliant * Review the code on installing homes - google ‘installing mobile homes’ in your area * Check with Code Enforcement and Zoning and make sure there are no violations.

(they may call it something different in each state, but that is the Manufactured Housing Community Association here in AZ).
