Vinyl skirting should run you about $350 to $450, plus a day to install. Have sharp snips, cordless screwdriver (do NOT attempt with a nut driver ? ask me how I know!), a level, a hammer, and a tape measure. And gloves.
Shed? He\, they?re everywhere. Check the feed store, or HoDe/Sears/Lowe?s/Menards et al. Or look in the paper for one for sale. Get a tin shed, or build a wood one to what the park wants. Just do it inexpensively.
A thought ? if the PM truly understands what you?re trying to do, then ask them if they would mind the new tenants putting up the shed. You may find a buyer who works somewhere they can get a deal on a shed, or they have building skills (or a friend/relative who does), and can do it cheaper than you ? finance a lumberyard gift card into the deal for their materials. THEY will be living there, and they will be responsible to not put up a piece of sh*t. Pass off responsibility to the owners whenever you can ? you?re just the bank ? remember that. And, if you do not get a buyer with skills or connections, then put one up.
