Camper Pad Idea in Nashville
Hello BP!
My plans to buy MFPs are on hold until I can sell my house in MD and use the cash for investment. In the mean time, I have this great spot in East Nashville, corner lot, secluded street, etc that I'd like to use to create some more income. Originally, I thought I could use the extra yard space to build a garage/apartment and rent this out but this would cost upwards of $150k and I don't think would be worth losing my good interest rate with a construction loan. I don't have enough equity for this yet but maybe in the future.
Anyway, I moved down here to TN in my camper two years ago and the camper is now in storage since I bought the house. I thought I could leave the camper at a local campground and stay in it while my house is short term leased. Campground rentals around here are so expensive at around $800 a month not including electric so this would cut back on my income. So...I had the idea of installing a concrete pad in my back yard, sprucing it up with a privacy fence and maybe a patio and parking my camper there! I'd have to run power, water and sewer to the camper if I were to do it right but I'd immediately save the $110 a month on storage fees and could easily go back and forth between my house and camper when I have people staying. I know it may be a weird idea and I don't even know if Nashville will allow it but I imagine there is someone out there with some insight. Thanks in advance so much for any tips, thoughts, etc you can offer.

So Jimmy I got this friend that did what you are taking about. Codes will not allow it so my friend says be cool to the neighbors. My friend converted stuff to gas on the main house to increase Amps in the panel. My friend also happen to have a drain line in running through the backyard so "winning ". Message me if you want to meet up and speak with my friend.
