Pick up the phone and call and appraiser 

I am picking up the education again.

There are many different ways to analyze a deal, pick what works for you and be consistent about it.

I'm assuming the following should all be in the name of the LLC and not me as an individual: -contract with property manager-insurance policy on house-any utilities I continue to pay for (so, for instance, checks to the gardeners / pool guy should come from the LLC) Anything else I might be forgetting?

This got me thinking, if you could get the owner to finance 100% (or even 95%) of the purchase price at a rate and terms that would safely cash flow after all expenses (maintenance, vacancy, utilities, management, etc.).....would you overpay for a park?

We still had stuff there, we still were paying utilities, we still had our keys and were still paying rent!

Really picked me up.

In most states where I've done business, if there is no early termination clause, usually you can charge for the costs to advertise and the time it is vacant including utilities if tenant was responsible for them up until lease end, itemized with the rest of the damage above normal wear and tear. 

The utility might do a read-only for free, but lots will charge for this service. 

We looked up the millage rate, we'll make sure to utilize it moving forward.
