If you do so, the only people who will agree to pay it are people who have been turned away elsewhere, i.e. problem tenants with a history of evictions or other red flags.

I'm breaking out of my comfort zone here, and hoping to gather a little bit of advice before I finalize a deal on a 14 unit mobile home park.

First thing to do is check with your zoning department about how many days you can  rent  the unit on your property. 

Some are way shorter, some are a little bit longer due to an extended wait to get an available docket date.However, cost wise we have heavy property taxes (surely because we don't have income taxes), and insurance cost is a killer (flood zone, hurricane...).Also we have a very great land trust statutes.

It shows as a 1 bed, 1 bath, when in actuality is a 2/1.Has plenty of room in the backyard to build more space.2 beds1 bath 1013 Square Feet6777 LotR1 Zoning

I kind of view them like building/zoning inspectors.

Preferably someone who knows their way through the Somerville zoning department.

The zoning city inspectors were very responsive and glad we were improving building but they wanted the entire building renovated before a single unit could be rented (which makes sense, but my original plan was to renovate 2 units and then market and rent those 1/2 way through to start getting cash flow sooner while finished the last 2 units).

Hi Cheri, Are your questions about 1031 exchange or opportunity zones?

Check your zoning ordinance and call code enforcement to see if it would be approved without permit and/or variance in the property.
