Great question, my research on them is they've been up and down over the last 5 years and just recently finally posted a profit.

Now I'm starting to finally take action and am hoping to learn from the BiggerPockets online community as my partner and I take on this new journey.If you're in the VA Beach/Norfolk/Chesapeake area investor and need an extra hand painting walls at your rental place, need help with a project, or would like to pawn off some of your paperwork - I'm your person. 

If you own outright, you might be able to get a HELOC and pay cash for your new purchase (depending on the HELOC LTV and final price on new purchase) .

We actually had three or four other scripted elements that never made the final cut.The crazy thing is that none of this was the original script. 

It is a matter of personal choice to use the HELOC.  

I don't think that's the 1st choice of any developer. 

The classic example of legit "unforeseen" is that your mom who lives 3 states away comes down with terminal brain cancer and you want to be near her for her final months.

I think that if you have a choice of making it into a third bedroom and private bathroom with its own entrance.

Then add the value of the park owned homes/stick-built house separately to your final purchase price.

There is no one way and it depends also on how you choose to operate your business.Monthly rent...dependant on property, market drivenUtilities....specific to property and marketsinternet, cable....market drivenTenant or landlord costs.. market and landlord choice
