Per Google: "A home appraisal is an unbiased estimate of the true (or fair market) value of what a home is worth."

So I would not say I would never advise a Seller to accept an offer with assignee added but would definitely fully inform of possible negative consequences.

I then added 15% to the high side, and plugged it into my numbers.

Just Google search “mobile home park association (state)” and call them asking for state specific rules and regulations, and state specific notices (late rent, pay or quit, eviction, utility bill backs, etc.).

I definitely added the term "hard metrics" and maybe that was my misinterpretation of the metrics used to analyze deals.I think you are right about the subjectivity of the numbers and about the unknown variable in a deal. 

Adding to this thread just to see if anyone out there ended up using HOME INVEST? 

Google "title company" in your city and then pick up the phone.

Many landlords require renters insurance, and that they either be added to the policy or be additional interest, for the purposes of being notified when it is canceled. 

You could also put a false ad on Craigslist and see how much response you get.
