Putting a Prefab House on a Vacant Lot: What do I Need to Learn?

Hey everyone, I'm a buy-and-hold investor in Cincinnati, Ohio. I own a 9000 sq ft (0.2 acre) residentially-zoned lot in a C+ neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio. It used to have a house on it (now torn down, cleared away, and completely vacant), and is on a street with decent homes (80k house prices, 1100 rents). 

Is it possible to put a manufactured home on the property (which already has utilities hooked up to it)? How can I find out if zoning will allow it? How much would I feasibly need invest to get a 3br/1ba 1000 sq ft home? Would this take in the ballpark of 2 months or 6 months? If I can accomplish it for $30k-40k it would be a good investment for me, but I know nothing of what's feasible or not. 

I have no experience with prefab homes, new construction, or zoning laws, so any resources one could point me to regarding this would be greatly appreciated!
