Item IV <br />Some Comments from Park Owners <br />In some instances, owners responded to the notice letter that we sent. In phone calls, CRA -NC <br />developed a few anecdotal conclusions from their comments. <br />Several owners said that they have trouble with collections from residents. <br />Some said that maintaining infrastructure, in particular roads, is too expensive relative to the cash flows <br />generated by rent. <br />Several owners asked if it would be possible to sell their park. This hints at the possibility that Orange <br />County, in connection with a non - profit or by itself, would likely have a good deal of choice in selecting <br />app public investment.

Currently, there are three abandoned homes <br />on the property and a number of vacant units. Most of the lots are unoccupied. The owner would like <br />to rehabilitate the park but he believes that the County will not authorize him to bring new units back <br />onto the property. <br />11 <br />
