Also, how can I find out information on utilities in the area, HOA fees (or even if they are a part of an HOA), garbage, and so on.

I went outside after I called the cops and both times the officers went by, they'd be quiet, so the officers wouldn't hear them being loud.They keep the lights in the front off while they're "hanging out" so that makes it difficult for officers to see what's going on until they get up on the house - by that time, they have quieted down long enough for the officers not to see or hear anything.I got tired of the 30+ calls regarding their noise not making a difference in how much noise they consistently made daily and out of a week - they would average at least 4 nights out of the week to be a complete and utter nuisance.So after being awakened at 2:35am and seeing their usual ploys, I went to stand where they could see me and proceeded to stand there for five minutes before they realized that I was standing there.The old man asked: "are you okay?"

The reason is there are so many aspects of MHP's that no lawyer usually has that breadth AND depth to effectively advise on so many topics.With that said here is my recommendation if you truly need an attorney:Get a generic real estate attorney to help with a purchase contract, if that provides you comfort.Bring in specialists for help if you have specific issues in a certain area you need help (e.g. zoning, grandfather status).I have a custom 15 page MHP-specific contract I use for investor-owned MHP's (this contract is mostly padded with seller disclosures and outs for the buyer if materials facts are omitted - everything from utilities, zoning, and financials), and then for small sellers I use a 3 page TAR form.

After the vacancy is filled, that would add another $1,000 / month.The property is generally in good condition with some upside for appreciation and there are some changes I was thinking about to increase the value, I.e. converting from oil to electric and have the tenants in the residential property pay their own utilities.

The units are not metered separately, and all are charged utilities via an equal split averaged out over the past year's usage with a 50% markup.

And every five dollars, every ten dollars, would make a difference.Isn't it ironic that a forum thread like this makes an appearance on V-E day, the day the Nazis surrendered?
