To be more successful, you simply have to work on the other elements to progress your REI pursuit.

It might be worth $25 a weekend more for those vendors to be inside out of the elements.

Even if you are comfortable with the deal a commercial lender is going to want due diligence you wouldn't even think of for a SFH like a phase one environmental. etc.

I think it takes partnership between the elements you mentioned - local government, creatives, and real estate risk takers - and how fun it is to be part of the process.

This week we got under contract and have gone through environmental and mechanical due diligence - everything went well which makes me happy on the one hand but disappoints my inner negotiator who wanted some leverage on the price.  

I think by definition it does .. but I am not a ADU expert.. its a very common element here in the PDX market... but you should talk with a really good mortgage lender and or underwriter and ask them.. they will know

I've just read the thread from beginning to end and it was so informative.I'd like to pick the collective BP brain if I might:I'm in the Ann Arbor, MI area and currently work full time at an environmental nonprofit.

TH folks are much more eco-conscious and interested in down-sizing, reducing costs, being environmentally-friendly and in many cases, mobility.  

It's good to know you are buying a park that has the proper inspections and certifications, but it also means at any time the state can decide that your well has been tainted and needs to be shut down, or your lagoon system is leaching or causing environmental issues.
