It's good to have 'boots on the ground' when things go sideways.  

I assume you wouldnt feel comfortable foreclosing and booting them out. 

Leave that for the boots on the ground/grinder "investors".

Also, when I was doing property management, this is condition is pretty typical of owner managed properties that were turned over to us--some better, some much worse.The problem comes when there's a company involved claiming to be your "boots on the ground" and providing some value-add to a property they found with deferred maintenance.  

Before Josh Dorkin started BP, there was nothing, except for biased marketing squeeze pages from "gurus" trying to sell you their so-called "turn-key rentals" or over-priced "coaching packages" or seminars and boot-camps!

I truly believed that I could take the skills that I learned in boot camp and apply them to real estate investing.Then one day, I was exposed to real estate options.  

For me it is great to have some boots on the ground in there area.

If u feel comfortable with the park and it makes sense I'd go with the park I don't own any yet but I know @Jim Johnson acquired his 1st mobile home park over 1000 miles away from him ,and @jeffersonlilly is a guy u should talk to as well,I'd go to a mobile home boot camp first though ,owning a mobile home park can make u very cash rich or leave u dirt poor

had had some local support and knowledgeable guidance from other combat vets, the results for both of you might have been much different. 

I would stay in your local area research analyze and found a property that meets your goals BP is littered with regrets of those who make hasty out of state buys without  the resources of trusted boots on the ground
