First Park Evaluation

Hi,

I’ve been lurking around the board for several months and will be attending boot camp in April. I came across the following deal recently and I would appreciate any feedback/critique of my analysis. Thanks in advance!
2 Parks sold as package deal with additional 3 stick built rentals and a 30X30 metal shop building.
Location:
Pop: ~200K
Unemployment: 3.7%
Median Home: $130K
Parks:
1, 35 lot (3.65 acres) and 1, 25 lot (4 acres) – collectively, 60 lots
42 Occupied, all TOH
Avg. $189/month lot rent + utilities
Water sub-metered at both parks and owner reimbursed for water usage by tenants
3 Stick Build rentals:
1 rented @ $485/month +utilities
Price/Financing:
$725K, owner will finance with $150K down
Rough Evaluation:
4218960= ~$476K
The owner sent his P&L for both parks which I combined and adjusted with my own numbers (see below). I erred on the high side for management cost and removed the line items for misc. income. The numbers below are for the park only and do not include the stick built homes or the shop. How should I go about accounting for the stick built homes and the shop? The owner said the negative difference in the utilities is due to: (1) him keeping power on at several vacant lots, (2) keeping the power on at the shop building, (3) keeping the power on at vacant stick builts, and (4) billing his cell as a utility against the park.
Are there any substantial costs I am missing or additional considerations?

The park will be reassessed upon sale, so figure on the existing tax rate times the sale price for the Taxes. Assuming Seller’s assessment is (say) 50% of market value, the taxes will double.

Good call. Thanks @Brandon!
