I have found, apples to apples, when in a park that has lower lot rent, can ask more for the same home.

That's unfortunate to hear that there are some bad apples out there. 

It seems like a apples to oranges comparison in a lot of ways to me. 

That way you're not stuck with a bad tenant for the next 12 months if one of them turns out to be a rotten apple.

I was thinking about having one dedicated  Google Voice number on a bandit sign and different number on car magnets.

For me its wine tours apple picking and people wanting to leave a major metropolitan area for a weekend away.

My point in my last post is that the example you've given is not really apples to apples.

You are comparing making investments inside of a qualified plan with personal investments, that is like comparing apples and oranges.

You're not comparing apples to apples. 

Almost everything else should be at your discretion or same regardless of what lender you go with.So if your goal is to shop for a lender - I would ask what rate he's giving you, his loan origination costs and the cost of the appraisal.Also - you want to ask for similar loans across the lenders to compare apples to apples(30 year fixed, 0 points compared with a 30 year fixed 0 points).
