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.

I can provide link to the website but I don't know if that's permitted.

But this saves me a lot of time communicating and showing the unit to prospective tenants.My girlfriend (before I met her) had her security deposit revoked when she abruptly moved to a new apartment because a friend of hers needed a roommate.  

The construction cost on the home are currently at $8.1 million, but with the prospect of a very extensive landscaping package upgrade, that number may rise another million.

Work with contractors ( permits, occupancy, and etc )c.) 

Check to make sure theres enough  car parking to support both store fronts, plus the tenants of the apartments (city can limit the types of businesses depending on parking, for instance if theres not a lot of parking they can not permit restaurants).Also find out if the building is in a DDA controlled area.

I am considering getting started prospecting for subject to deals. 

When building your team, it's best to meet with a couple different prospects before you make your hiring decision.

There may be a trade off between lower lease prices for a restaurant that gives you a lot of good will in a town that helps with permits, filling other spaces, and future acquisitions.

A prospect called me the other day inquiring about an apartment I have for rent and I got a strange feeling, but maybe it was just his personality...anyway, he said his boss wants him to move closer to work and wants to pay for his entire lease in cash (or certified check) up front.
