As a long term landlord I have had great luck renting to spanish speakers and some of them were probably not legal.
Are there any additional concerns in selling a mobile home to someone who does not have proper documentation? I will be doing rent credit.
One issue is that you can’t do a background check - which includes a credit check.
I am requiring $4K to move in so this is not really a problem.
The problem with undocumented/illegal people is that you don’t know what you’re getting because you can’t do a background check. They could have an extensive criminal record. I no longer accept undocumented people because of that.
It’s illegal to ask whether a prospective tenant is legally in the USA.
I have 2 Hispanic parks, and I love them!!
The only negative aspect is the funny colors they paint their homes and quinceaneras. I have a few Purple houses and a few Canary yellow ones. My favorite is the purple house. It sits right in the front of the park.
The Quinceaneras are a park-wide event. We open the clubhouse, and they party all night. In one of my Hispanic parks, the clubhouse was closed. I remodeled the clubhouse and opened it up for Parties. Everyone loves it.
Another good tip for Hispanic parks is to get the CashPay program up and running.
Here are the HUD guidelines regarding citizenship.
