Ask the Recorder of Deeds.I suggest you get to an attorney, do a standard lease, a separate straight option agreement, both could be assigned with owner's consent not being unreasonably withheld, get a power of attorney to do repairs or a construction contract would be better, you as a tenant probably can't pull permits.

I varies by location.Check with your permit department.

Ideally, you should schedule one day a week (an hour or two) to show the property around to prospective tenants. 5.

The building is by right so no special permit needed.

@Kenneth HynesI am doing a delayed exchange, but I do have my area and realtor and prospects. 

I am evaluating a prospective build of a custom home.My wife and I purchased a tear-down for a rather deep discount to the market value.

Yes, I would love to invest in a state with a growing economy and better prospects for price appreciation, but we are staying in CT for probably 10 more years.

Hey @Michael Klinger Massachusetts is a great place to live with lots of areas that are great prospects for investing.

The advice given above is better than what I'm going to say, but my life became simpler when I just started marketing to prospects with equity.

You'll probably want to interview some other prospective contractors, depending on the areas that need work, just to have some other people lined up.Nice to hear about your first potential mobile home deal.
