any RV park developers out there ?

[Chris Welch]

Hello All,

Just recently I changed my real estate investing path and it has been exciting. I have become good friends with two local guys who own one RV park and are in the mist of developing a new one (70 pads) from ground up. We are here in Florida and as you can imagine nice newer RV parks are in incredible demand. Because of these connections a partner and I have a small RV park under contact and are in the due diligence stage. 

Just yesterday, because of these connections we went and looked at a piece of property that is over 160 acres and has the entitlements to just over 500 RV pads. This property was used as a cattle farm with a commercial area up front on a major road. It is not on the market as the owner attempted to sell it some time ago and got caught up in a nightmare with a group who drug everything out a few years back. This property is located in an area which is a major draw for tourism and has two nice parks within a short drive which are completely full with waiting lists.  

My first thought was what a great project for a fund and of course have heard Brandon Turner talk about ODC (Open Door Capital) and buying up RV parks. I would like to make some connections if anyone has experience developing these larger parks or in doing small funds to build new projects. Please feel free to reach out.
