Good Deal?: 12 CAP - 24 Space Park Purchase
Would love BP MHP Pro feedback.
After analyzing over 100 deals I found this one.
1. Do you believe this is a deal?
2. Is there anything I should look out for?
3. Should I add anything?
4. Are the terms OK?
Until I increase lot rent in January 2014, I have $900 per month for expenses to work with.
