BTW: I used to design them and understand the in warranty noisy issues. 

I understand what you're saying about trying for an all-cash route as opposed to financing.

I understand there is a period of time after an offer is accepted to do due diligence.

i mostly hear people wanting to have purely tenant Home owned parks and I can understand that, however I have a friend who thinks the opposite.

We currently own a few properties in the Chicagoland area and are considering getting our real estate licenses to help facilitate/understand better what truly goes in to it, (and save $$ on commissions!)

I own a number of rentals in places I wouldn't prefer to live myself, but I do have tenants that pay the rent on time, and are content to live there.I fully agree with her approach to your question, though... in order for anybody to give a good answer, one must first understand your goals.  

I have been lurking for a few months and feel like I am starting to understand enough to ask specific enough questions, so here goes! 

So personally I would advice to build some new memories at your new spot. 3) Talk with the tenant as much as you can to understand her/his personality and what they will be like.

I have read posts and listened to the podcasts and they discuss the 1% rule which I understand is a rule of thumb.

Yes, all I do is really listen to them and understand them.
