Sib, 

You can find decent priced warehouse space in Miramar areas which is between the 5 and 15 freeways and centrally located. I personally have a small 1200 sq/ft warehouse with garage door, lobby/front room, restroom. 

This is in a good area just down the street from the Miramar marine air base, the area has many options for warehouse space.

Depending on location requirements you can check out chula vista, east county (lakeside, ramona)

I have not done that but assisted clients with apartments and condo to meet ADA compliance. 

@jonklaus has apoint the ADA compliance may play a large role, dependent on a few things in California. Onsite manager/ leasing office if it simply a age recommended community. or the level of service onsite nursing staff etc...

Also the coastal commissions has more authority than you could believe when it comes to property that meets the beach-line.

Thanks @Curt Smith I definitely appreciate you taking the time to reply. I will at this point see if there is any willingness with management then probably walk. Because it is definitely in there interest to take this unit. and with the owner out of the unit unable to rent his hand has definitely been forced.

Yes @Curt Smith I suppose your right, but do to comps selling in the same park to this unit even as is are at $69,000 and updated are selling $125,000 +, this is in a desirable part of San Diego where homes sell for 500,000+. So I can clearly see the park management holding it for there own gain.

Purchase price of $24,000

Rehab of $15,000

ARV of $100,000 conservative

The #'s are very enticing

Hello BP, 

I recently sat down with a mobile homeowner in San Diego who to say the least has had some very bad interactions with the management and owners of the park; from what I have been told resisting park rules excess people living in unit, and from the owner the fact that he replies to there requests by attorney does not seem to help anything. He has already moved out of the mobile home due to an agreement between management. Park management is reluctant to share information regarding possible liens, back taxes, back rent, . Stating "That's between our attorneys. Submit the application and we will go from there."

He is ready to sell but according to the mobile home owner management has been denying everyone who puts in a tenant application making it impossible to sell. Both the owner and management do agree that there is a check list of items that must be completed to sell the mobile home. The mobile home owner who is very sour about the entire event does not want to complete the check list (seems like mostly out of spite) but he is definitely prepared to sell.

I have already submitted my tenant application due to my 9  to 5 income I am more than qualified to be a tenant. (so we will see if they are really throwing away these apps or giving them a fair chance.)

Solution- Be approved as a tenant, get the check list completed, become a tenant, make improvements and sell unit.

Any advice would be appreciated. 

If the park management denies my application what is the best option for challenging there decision? Is there a way to find out if there is back rent/ taxes owed?

I have worked with many different attorneys in the San Diego area and now solely work with KTS and refer them to all my clients. You are in good hands.
