i see some upsides in preventing evictions/ higher rents. any info would be helpful

In Top Gun, the opening scene has them in the air and landing (on low fuel) on an air craft carrier.

I've had banks fix air conditioners, roof shingles, etc.

I am guessing this clause was put in place to prevent homes from being pulled out of parks by known dealers. 

There is no amount of preparation/reading that will remove or prevent all problems.

No the circuit breaker cannot handle two air conditioners and a blow dryer... 

The operating agreement in place specifically prevents the property from being used as collateral without written consent of all members.

Appliances work but look dated and I see them as an expense to prevent future service calls and may as well spend a few extra bucks and get stainless steel if I am changing appliances.

This seems like a simple issue to me.If you can pay all cash,And paying all cash doesn't tie all of your capital up preventing you from being involved in other profitable deals, By all means pay cash.
