Hi All,

How much do you guys usually approximately pay for labor (not counting the material) to do a full interior remodel of a single wide 14x70 three bedroom mobile home? Like I’m talking new drywall, paint, floors, etc.

Thank you,

Gulliver

Hi All,

Any one know any really good and trustworthy CPAs that know mobile home parks?

Thanks,

Good news! I just read on the seattle.gov website under STR rules and regulations that I can have just one STR unit that is non-primary in nature as long as I have a business license, STR operator's license, and an RRIO registration.

Well if what I'm asking can't be done legally (or some kind of work-around/loop hole), then I won't do it.

Hi All,

I'm planning on securing a property in Seattle WA for the purpose of a STR unit. But on the Seattle.gov website it says one STR unit must be my primary residence. I don't actually intent on living in the unit. So how do I prove to the city of Seattle that this STR unit will be my primary residence? Do I just need a Seattle City Light bill with my name on it and the address of the property?

I know it can be done because I've met investors that have STR units in Seattle and they don't live in any of them. So what's the work around here?

Thanks in advance!

Do test ads first to test out the demand. That’s what I would do first. Then if the test ads show there’s a demand for people who want to rent a mobile home or own it and pay for just lot rent then you got a good park on your hands. 

FYI: 21st Mortgage has a program called the Cash Program that can fill ten or more vacant lots with all new mobile homes. And ultimately the park owner doesn’t pay for the homes. The tenant / buyer will pay for the home payments through 21st Mortgages financing plans. It won’t work if you have less than ten vacant lots though.

What link do I click on when I go to that website to find MHs?

@Ken Latchers

I sense your tone to be condescending. If I’m wrong please let me know. But if I’m right, I don’t appreciate that. If you want to give me advise, then do it with respect. 

Anyway... I’ll continue to do research and then take action. Thank you everyone for your input. I really appreciate it. 

I was thinking in downtown Seattle and Anaheim CA (Disney Land). Both areas are destination areas. I don’t know if Airbnb’s are recession proof. Do people travel much during a recession? I know rich people may not be effected too much lol. 

@Jon Crosby

Great point! Speaking of which, how do you think Airbnb units will do during a recession?
