Zoning letter refusal
What do you do when a town refuses to write you a zoning interpretation letter?
1 like • 2d
@Michael Pansolini the template is the "A+ Letter". Sometimes cities sign it without even reading it. Sometimes they will not sign anything, for no good reason. Often times the letter needs to be tweaked to comport with the actual facts relevant to the subject property. Where our firm adds the most value is in situations where there is ambiguity in the code or differences of interpretation, thereby necessitating a specific negotiated letter.
Counter Offer Suggestions
Seeking feedback/suggestions on a counter offer. Original ask price $335k: original offer was $320k and seller pays for and completes main water relocation OR $300k and buyers fix the main water meter. Sellers have countered at $310k and buyers pay for main water meter relocation. Wanting to counter with $310k contingent on a buyer obtaining a quote detailing that the water relocation does not exceed $20k in repairs (as is estimated by the current owner). If quote exceeds $20k, seller will provide credits OR price reduction. What are some other creative ways to counter here, knowing that the water meter relocation will be a pricey headache to inherit?

@Michael Pansolini most banks will not ding you for a credit if there is an actual repair that is needed post-closing. If it's merely a re-trade price concession then the lender may see it as a "credit" that is akin to a reduction in price (and thus a reduction in the loan amount.)
Keeping POH out of bank’s collateral.
Has anyone bought a park with a handful of POH and been able to keep the titles out of bank collateral? I’d like to be able to get clear title to the homes at closing so that I can sell them quickly and recoup some of my down payment.

@Eric Caravella you just need to tell the bank they are not part of their collateral. The land typically needs to appraise high enough without the homes. I have pulled this off every time (except the first deal, where I learned the hard way about having to direct POH sales proceeds to the land loan.)
I built an AI assistant that runs my business while I sleep
4 days ago I started experimenting with something and it's gotten to the point where I need to share it. I have an AI assistant named R2 (yes, like R2-D2) that I've connected to basically every system I use: • Google Calendar (manages 7 calendars, auto-creates Zoom links for every meeting) • Gmail - i gave him his own email address (reads, drafts, sends emails with proper context) • ClickUp (creates tasks, assigns them, tracks dependencies) • Google Drive (accesses, edits when i say so, and organizes documents) • Fathom (pulls meeting transcripts and summaries automatically after every call) • Google Maps / Places API (running large-scale MHP data projects) • Rent Manager (integration in progress) Here's what's wild - we set this up in 4 days. Not months. Not with a dev team (except for the server it sits on). Four days of me giving it access and telling it what I need. Some things it does daily without me asking: • Checks my inbox every 5 minutes, labels and categorizes everything • Monitors for new Fathom meeting recordings and processes them into a knowledge base • Manages calendar events across all my business entities • Runs background research and data projects overnight The thing that changed my perspective: I went to bed one night and woke up to completed work. Not half-done. Not "here's a plan." Actual finished output. This isn't ChatGPT. It's not a chatbot you ask questions to. It's an autonomous agent with persistent memory that knows my businesses, my team, my preferences, and my systems. It remembers every conversation we've had and builds on them. I'm not a developer. I can't code. But the barrier to building something like this is basically gone now. The tools exist - you just need to know how to connect them. If you're an operator managing parks, dealing with contractors, handling tenant communications, tracking deals - imagine having a second brain that never sleeps, never forgets, and gets better every day. Happy to answer questions if anyone's curious about the setup or what's possible.

It's pretty crazy everything AI is capable of, and how fast it is improving.
POH private lenders
Is anyone having success getting private investors to put up money for POH/infill? What rate are you paying? We have been using banks for much of our infill but they require paperwork, origination fees, and high interest fees on a per home basis. I would rather get a private money lender at $100k-$1M and pay 7-9% interest, but the people I've been talking to want like 15% and that's just too steep.

@Michael Pansolini I have a client that has done this and they raised several million very quickly. They are paying 14% to the investors, which attracted a lot of folks. They also have the loans backed by the parks, as they are also the park owners. The challenge is the parks are being charged 15-17% for the loans ... so the debt is pretty steep for the parks.

@Christopher Kelch that sounds like a win-win.
