I’m looking at a park expansion project, and am having a difficult time developing a plan for the “lag time” that some potential residents would encounter should they choose to move their existing mobile home from another park into ours. Our state is known for being somewhat slow on performing home move inspections, so I could see the lag time being as long as 60 days in some cases, from when the tenant moves out of their existing home and the home is transported to when the home installation passes inspection in our park.
Has anyone on the forum gone through a similar situation, and how did you handle this? Fortunately we’re planning to fill the majority of the expansion through new home purchases/CASH program, so existing home transfers will likely be a smaller percentage of the project.
Wanted to reactivate this thread on the forum. Has anyone had substantial prior experience with managing state inspections for homes transferred into your park from another park? As the lag time between physical home move-in and getting a green light to move the tenant back in to their home can be significant, how have you dealt with this?
we put a tenant up in a hotel for a limited time when we moved their home onto an existing pad, not everyone is willing to do this and im not advocating for it, but when you move a home, if they don’t have any where to go…you may have to pay for a hotel if you want that resident and that home
