Lending

madison group lends local banks inside of their market

As we discussed, we are ready to identify lenders for you when the next opportunity presents itself. In the meantime, below are a few things the three of you could start putting together and would be required by any lender or traditional bank in the states. If you begin working on these items, it will save you time later.

  1. 3 years tax returns for each 20% or greater member in the LLC
  2. Articles of Organization once they are filed
  3. EIN (Employee Identification Number) – usually filed for with the IRS after the LLC articles are approved
  4. Brief description of each of the investors with any experience you have with investing in these types of properties or property management in general (this can be as simple as a Word document with a few bullet points for each investor)

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions regarding any of the above. You should also plan on needing to put about 35% down on any transaction. We could secure a lending solution that would require less, however this is a safe number to be prepared for.

I will send a separate email with a list of some of the questions I will have about any specific properties as you find them. They are mostly items we discussed on the phone but I thought it would be helpful to have them in writing for future reference.

Thank you.

Why invest in smaller parks? - Lower risk - More diversification - Economies of scale => if collecting rents electronically => try to concentrate in one state (or use holding company from Delaware?) => no "1 roof" or "1 boiler" rule - Easier to convince the vendor to hold papers: difficult to find financing Long term plan Sell / 1031 Exchange and purchase a 1M park

What to do with an abandoned trailer

Trailer abandoned 1. Give notice to vacate Then apply for eviction Then through the rentalsman, bring the sheriff who puts a lock Then after 2-3 months, rentalsman will consider it an abandoned chattel Tear it down = $2,500-$3,000 Once torn down, debris to dump Bring in new one and do rent-to-own 2. Ask them to sell it to someone else 3. Wait for tax sale

An owner's perspective

Larry - Trailer park Your journey as an investor? Forestry operation, bought one then another one How did you buy the first one? Financed it, Credit Union 25-30% down, then Scotiabank 30% down $205, $225 $185, $205 $400,000 of mortgage The people pay: 5%, put it out at 10%, less than rent, own it after 20 years Contract: $1,500 down, rent to own contract The second one? Went to the bank? How do you collect the rents? Cheques, cash, e-transfer, has manager running rental applications, eviction: $25/hour Have you ever brought trailers in? Do you then sell the trailers? For my park, 6 months notice: in November for May: $140, $120 if paid on the first Second one went to receivership: water, sewer work Always look at frame and structure before you put money into it unless it is livable Always bring someone as a witness if you go inside a property Do notice Find tenant to sell their home When you buy a new trailer: 2 or 3 bedrooms, $100-$150/m...
