It was simply a discussion/roll play between Will and Bill and occasionally Marc would chime in, The 10 others in the chat probablly wernt willing to say a word after the 10 times I was scolded for asking logical questions.

I may be a bit late in posting an introduction - it has only taken me 2 years of occasional BP reading to realize that getting involved in this team sport is much better than hiding in a corner.I have a few out of state buy and hold deals under my belt, but I'd still consider myself new.

Yea, Im skeptical to dish out $100,000 for a park like this, but it seems anything else is over $200,000 and still only has 10 or so lot rents...Are there any other websites and ways to locate mhp's other than loopnet and mhpstore.com?

In a nut shell...I'm a Texan that went to HS in WI and college in IA and then spent that last 15 years in China (selling rubber, brass and the occasional gov procurement).

Sometimes they call and sometimes not and they occasionally make mistakes.

I manage them from afar and occasionally do site visits.On the other hand, there are many distressed properties that I have looked at where the PM hasn't seen the owner in years.Good PM is key to CRE success.

But again, around here, we have to have an approved site plan/permit and an approved building plan/permit before we can actually start construction (although occasionally we do get permission to start excavation ahead of the building permit).Good luck!

I've been in homes, however, where tenants actually leave the toilets not flushed, sinks full of dishes, etc., because they don't want to move so make the place uninviting to say the least.

Occasionally we will be awarded a paid contract to do engineering & design for the work to be done, but never have we been paid to provide an estimate.

We do not put ANY contingencies in our contracts, except the occasional well and septic inspection.
