Some ideas from others: · bank loans are not available on some types of properties · the tight lending climate has made bank financing "out of reach" for many · seller financing is an "age old" tradition based on private property rights · these rules would prohibit even partial seller financing - i.e. a "seller second" · according to HUD's "Residential Finance Survey" in 2001, roughly 40% of all non-farm residential properties in the US are owned free and clear · an estimated 6 million Americans own a property other than their own primary residence · an estimated 4.5% of Americans own three or more properties, many purchased solely as investment properties · 40% of non-owner occupied residences are mobile homes which are more difficult to sell with bank financing · approximately 5% of homes in US are for sale or for lease... seller financing may be key to liquidating this inventory The continued success of our industry as we know it is threatened by these proposed regulatory changes.

(Unless they have a permit/approval from regulatory authorities which is near impossible to get)We are so regulated on this, we can't even say, in our ads that trust deed investments are "safe" or "secure" or other words that may lead investors to believe that normal investment risk doesn't exist.That said, a broker could comply with all the new laws, and then if a loan went bad, could AT THAT TIME offer to buy it back from an investor.

But only after waiting the seller out,,, sometimes 6 months or longer.45 pads x $180 lot rent a month x 12 x (expense ratio see bellow) = NOI  / cap rate = offerExpense ratio is no less than 50% for 100% park owned homes, as low as 30% for 100% lot rent and city utilities.so:45 x 180 x 12 x .7 = 68040 / 0.14 = $486k I adjusted the offer price re the high risk for lagoon and well in the cap rate offered.I'd only offer if there are NO issues at the city, county and state regulatory and those gov executive branches (elected commissioners, state reps, city mayor and board) plus of course the carreer regulators in the various inspector and permitting offices.  

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but LLC's do offer some legal protection, but failure to comply with different regulatory requirements for them can result in them being "pierced".
