. ;-) Thank you again for sharing your story, and congrats for doing something that may not have been “the popular choice,” but without-a-doubt was the fastest and most effective.

@Nathan SimonsIf he has been paying around the end of the first week of every month for a long time then that is his effective rent due date.

That effectively makes it completely unrealistic to develop new MHPs.  

Include a simple statement that all other terms of the original lease remain in effect unless specifically changed in this extension.

Obviously it is code to have the ability to escape both bedrooms in the event of fire, but could this be mitigated by a sprinkler system or is this effectively a 6 unit apartment building?

If you are familiar with the auctions you wouldn’t even have had to waste your time writing that.

But I'm wondering if they are as useful and applicable (i.e. the ability to edit) and if there are other more cost effective means to obtain said documents.

You generally get a little better rate because they have a bigger pool of money to draw from, but if you don't fit inside the box exactly they can't resell it, so they won't do the loan.That's why one of the first questions I ask myself when dealing with lenders is, do I think this one will "fit in the box" or not - I want the best rate of course, but I also don't want to waste my or the loan officer's time if I know it's probably not going to work from the get-go.

We do not like to low ball and waste people's time and the asking price worked for us.

The lease explicitly states that anything besides toilet paper and waste is the tenant's responsibility.
