The safest bet is to try to get a variance from Union City. though clever, your combined unit lease agreement would likely cause trouble if ever scrutinized by the Tenants or the municipality. 

I think the outskirts are you best bets!

And that gave us a feeling of security that allowed us to take "riskier" bets.

@John Herold I would start by talking to the mobile home dealerships in your area.

To avoid partnership issues, 50/50 is likely your best bet.

Mobile lenders also do not seem to want to lend on it due to the mixed nature of it.

She's an agent that works in that area and does a ton of work with out-of-state investors.I think NW Indiana is a great bet, it provides solid cash flow and continues to have Chicagoans flood that way to avoid taxes. 

i think the gift basket may be more beneficial to real estate agents to get referrals and possibly to get new tenants. i bet that was nice, i wouldn't forget that either!

Saw you're a mobile home landlord. 

You bet.
