Although we still have expenses related to the property that we must cover, we are making the following updates for the next three months to assist with the hardship many of you may be facing:Rent will be considered on-time if paid by the 10th or soonerYou may deduct $150 from your rent if you pay it on timeWe will accept credit card payments for rent (contact me for information)If you think that you will be unable to pay the full amount by the 10th or sooner due to your employment being affected by the pandemic, you must let us know as soon as possible by calling or texting MANAGEMENT at (XXX)XXX-XXXX.

Very conservative model that typically pays 12-15% annually to my investors.I am in the process of raising 5M capital currently for several mobile home parks and have already been turned away by several of my long term investors because they have either:- taken a recent HUGE loss in the market (many had margin)- generally terrified of the economyI'm considering raising my return to the investor to boost it to over 16-20% but wonder if that will even do any good.

In this time of uncertainty we want to ensure you have as much information as possible on programs that can assist you.
