Creating your own MH park from scratch (raw land)

[Petit Morne]

Hi,

I own 36 house lots (65x1250) in East Texas. They are platted as 3 whole city blocks. They are in a small city but on the far edge of the main part of the city. Most here want to buy MH parks that are already up and operating. I'm thinking about clearing this land and starting a MH park from scratch.

Is this "wise"?

Anyone know of a good book or website on such a thing?

Thanks,

PM

I assume you want to put in more than 36 units?  Also did you mean each lot is 65x125?  Zoning rules will be VERY important to your effort.  Find a local real estate attorney (hopefully one with city council and county ties) .  I think redeveloping old lots for off-site built structures is going to be a thing. Good luck and keep us informed.

@Joe Splitrock  The world certainly does need more affordable housing.  Off-site built structures will be an important part of that as they are more efficient to build and thus more affordable.  Its not about how its constructed but about how its maintained.
