has anyone here invested in mobile home parks?

Usually it's the landlords money and you pay it back over the term of the lease.Land Lease is where you lease the land, and can build a parking lot, gas station, wal mart, whatever.

I just parked my race car a few weeks ago for monetary reasons, and it hurts.

hello guys,my family owns a 20,000 sq ft land (where 3800 is being used for two old retail stores = convenience store + lawnmower shop)...i heard that we can use another 3200 sq ft (6000 sq ft MAXIMUM because 60% of the land needs to be used for parking) since we are NOT in downtown but are in a residential area....we are a CPD zone...something like commercial professional...so we can build commercial, office, or retail...but we do stay right next to a residential zone with SMALL houses..and some apartments near the area....70% caucasian city with median income 70,000 income.... i have 2 questions1) my 1st question is.....is it TOO RISKY to get rid of the two retail stores (because they're so old and ugly looking) and build a 2-story commercial 4 unit property to lease out to?

I've heard of landlords getting their friends in there and officially charging them an above-market rent to make the property sell at a higher price.

From what I have read, I suspect most of you will think these poor purchases, but I would like your honest comments.All 4 are in a great suburb, great schools, great parkes, etc.They were three short sales and one bank sale.

My husband and I just bought our first "official" investment property.

He said; As with a trust, lenders do not exercise the "due on transfer/sale" clause when real property is transferred to the same individuals in an official capacity.
