Frequently Asked Questions
Solomon Community Advisors is not a property management company, by design. I don’t collect rent, manage residents, supervise onsite staff, sell homes, or broker transactions. I provide independent operational guidance to Oregon manufactured home community owners, helping them evaluate decisions, identify priorities, and strengthen how their communities operate.
-
No. I work exclusively with manufactured home communities located in Oregon.
-
Yes. Site visits are an important part of many services. I travel to communities within approximately three hours of Albany, Oregon. We can discuss travel and site visit needs when we define the project.
-
No. I work alongside your existing manager or management team, not in place of them. I provide an independent, owner-side perspective and can support your interests and priorities as the community owner. The specific role I take depends on the engagement and the authority you give me.
-
Yes. I provide operational support to help owners assess resident-related challenges, organize relevant information, and consider practical next steps. Addressing concerns early may help avoid escalation.
In certain cases, I may act as the owner’s authorized agent and appear at a FED first appearance when permitted. I don’t provide legal advice or handle legal strategy or filings. Owners should consult a qualified attorney for legal questions and representation. Oregon law addresses an owner’s appearance through an agent in ORS Chapter 105.
-
No. My advisory services are exclusively for manufactured home community owners and ownership groups. I don’t represent residents.
-
I treat client information as confidential and do not share it without the client’s authorization, except where disclosure is required by law. For certain services, I provide a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) to document confidentiality expectations.
-
Yes. I provide operational due diligence for buyers who want a clearer picture of how a community operates and what may need attention after closing. I can also help owners assess operational priorities as they prepare for a potential sale. I don’t provide brokerage, legal, accounting, or inspection services, but can coordinate with the appropriate professionals.
-
We start with a conversation about your community, your priorities, and the kind of support you’re looking for. If there’s a fit, I’ll recommend a scope of work based on the project or ongoing support needed. Each engagement is tailored to the owner and community.
-
Fees depend on the community, the complexity of the work, and the level of support involved. Engagements may be project-based, hourly, or ongoing. I’ll discuss the scope and fees with you before work begins.
"Your community is your investment. You should have an advisor who understands how it operates, not just how it reports. Independent advisory support gives owners access to experienced operational insight without the cost structure of traditional management services."
