If you can create a compelling case to the seller, you could have a strong argument to have the seller finance your purchase with realistic terms that could make the deal work.  

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI increased 0.3% on the month and 4% from a year ago.

As Joshua said, first Monday of the month except when I'm in Spain : ) November is the 2nd Monday and Veteran's Day as well, so we will take a moment to celebrate our Vets (thanks for your Service, Shipmate) and eat some cake made by one of my core investor's wife who owned a bake shop in North Carolina before they moved here.

Of course, it's different but at the core you are the "middle man" between the current and future homeowner. 

The level of experience and knowledge that the core group of posters has is far and away above that of the average reader.

Many of the "core" group of contributors are vocal about the site, many are not.

Until you know what problems they need to solve it is hard to put together a compelling argument for the fact that you can fix them and that it is worth giving up their equity to make it happen.

you know, i heard a good story before from an investor at a club. he buys mobile home parks and i had no idea how much of a cash cow they were. he said he was trying to buy some units in the park to do what you were saying, he also owns a couple parks so he understands how the process works of buying one.the manager was a hard core jerk and wouldnt let him buy one to do what he was doing. so he asked for his manager and he claimed " i am the manager". so he tried to talk it over a couple times and just couldnt swing this guy but it was a good park. so he pulled up the tax records and the actual owners name was there not a company name. he wrote the guy a letter and recieved a call back.

@Jesse...Yes the urban core has made A Lot of improvements over the last 5 years!

This is the number one reason in my state of Georgia in most urban core and suburban areas you do not see new parks.They have restrictions against them and also the people at the park tend to be more transient.The local elected officials get constantly bombarded by complaints from home owners about the parks being eye sores and attracting crime.I have seen some counties enact laws where you have to buy a minimum of five acres to have a trailer on it.This keeps people from buying tiny parcels and dropping trailers on them everywhere and impeding the county and cities land use plans.I would look at a park where it is sitting on premium land for commercial development.I could sell off all or parcel out smaller pieces over time to extract more money per acre.My mom's friends in their 70's and 80's have owned about 45 trailers or so for 40 years.Every time a trailer burns down or something grandfathered in goes out the city hits them hard with paying for new connections etc. that cost thousands of dollars.Believe me cities and counties do not like these things in my state.There are of course rural counties where they do not really care about such things except for right in the town.The county or city will sometimes allow a temporary conditional use for a trailer while someone is building their house on the land but the put a time limit on it.
