DO NOT pay a cap rate on the rent the park is charging for the home.

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

It seems to me that the lowest rate would get me where i want to go the fastest considering they aren't charging any extra points or fees to get that rate.I appreciate your input!

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

For higher-risk tenants, I charge $1,500 or $2,000.I'm guessing this is for college students which means:1.

The more you put down the cheaper the loan which clearly benefits you at the end of the month!

I would also review with the agent what types of safeguards the companies will expect (Hard wired smoke detectors, Central station alarms, extinguishers, etc.) as some of that will be cheaper to do during your rehab rather than laterIf you lease the commercial space out to certain businesses you may have to comply with additional codes. 

We will obviously ensure they carry proper insurance, abide by the law, and submit to regular inspections.Question: if they live in the home and operate a business, would you charge them additional rent for the business side?

You would want to call around to some local Property Management companies in SWF that do STR's and see what kind of rates/fees they charge and the occupancy you can expect.

I typically charge 1.5x a months rent for the deposit.
