Remove existing window and components, rap in 6 mil poly tapeand dispose off of premises.

My worry is that may turn out to be alot of work and energy that could otherwise be put towards finding the next deal naturally aligned with long term hold and rental cash flow that is my core strategy.Wanted to see if anyone sees a different way to make this an attractive purchase.  

CAPEX/OPEX/REPAIRS: this is usually the trickiest one to forecast though the age of the home and condition of major components (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc) can influence this number tremendously.

Buy and holders get all of the same tax advantages with or without an LLC.An LLC is a huge component of an asset protection plan, but it can be challenging for newer investors to find favorable lending terms to an LLC.

If they will do almost nothing down in the top of the cycle you then have to ask yourself if you are way overpaying just to get the owner finance component?

.- I grow my network of “friends with benefits” — vendors and team-members that prosper with me in the pursuit of financial wisdom and independence through REI.Cons- I cannot drive by it, or leverage any bit of my own understanding of the local market, so I’m beholden to the vendors I align myself with.  

We'll get in detail when we speak but to in a nutshell... the strategy you decide to go with for your first deal should align with your long-term goal. 

Every state is different, so make sure to align yourself with an attorney who specializes in the MHP arena to get clarity on this question. 

Have some components of my team in place but interested in comparing notes with others and always considering working with other interested parties!

That's because owning yourself has some efficiency (e.g. this discussion is not needed, my goals always align with my goals at a given time :-).
