For the water metering- are you doing a sub meter like PUBS or are you putting in direct meters for every home? I looked at putting in meters direct to every home, but they would cost roughly $2,000 per meter if put as direct to tenant, which seems cost prohibitive. Our water bill is below 150/month and even below 100 some months when it's not winter and tenants aren't letting the faucets drip, but overall it's not a nuisance.

We are well on our way there. We are everyday approaching a European model where people own less and less of both land and buildings.

I have 10 acres of raw rural land and looking to develop a low income mobile home park.

If I posted under wrong category please guide me. Thanks


 Fairmount is very rural. How big are you looking to make it? 

I am doing something similar in Alabama. I can walk you through it. 

Umm how big I'm trying to make it? I never thought about it, but I don't mind starting out small and adding more as I go. I'm more of a whatever god allows kind of person. And I would be more than glad to get a walk through. Thanks 

Sometimes the government sets hard limits on the number per acre. Sometimes it's more on the side of how well the soil can absorb x amount of waste from a septic system. 
There is a where I am at currently, developers have to have 250 gallons of septic capability per bedroom, which would be like 1000 gallon tank for 2x 2bedrooms. Then you have the leach fields and such. I'd start by checking local restrictions and zoning for that specific plat of land and then getting your land perc tested and then see what the capacity is. In rural NC, I don't imagine it will be too stringent out there.

Well I know it's been a few months but I did want to give an update finally.  I started working with Sal Auciello (he's in this thread above) and we got to the point of doing an appraisal on the house that's part of the park.  It just so happens that a situation came up with family to do a private loan that will work for me at this time so I've paused working with Sal at the moment.  That said, Sal's been great to work with and I recommend him for anyone that may need a commercial type of loan.  You can contact him here on Bigger Pockets if needs be.

 What was the specific rate he was quoting you?

Follow up to this, on the week of closing, Nexa Mortgage through UWM increased the closing cost by a almost $3000. I pulled out and said no. Luckily, rates have fallen again in anticipation of the Fed announcement from last week. I am still looking for a VA IRRRL

The remedy is eviction, not ejectment. Eviction is easier and faster. As far as the tenant owning their own mobile home, look at Alabama Code Sections 35-12A-1 through 35-12A-15, which provides the remedies for selling mobile homes that are abandoned. A mobile home is abandoned if the tenant has been evicted from the lot but does not remove their mobile home.


I did not consider a Tennant being evicted from the lot. Thanks for sharing this.
So I looked into 35-12A-1, this seems to deal with Tenants who have abandoned the Mobile Home/Trailer, either TOH or POH, and not with Tenants who are still inhabiting the Mobile Home/Trailer. 


 You evict them first. They get removed from the premises. Chances are if they can't pay the lot rent, they also can't pay the thousands it takes to get the home moved.

We did the same and financed some homes from Legacy in 2022. We had them delivered to a park in Auburn, Alabama. I would not reccomend them at all in you are in an area of with alot of moisture or rain. I would not due business again due to the nature of the financing terms and the home quality.


 I am in Athens, AL and was looking at using them for a 25-pad park. Can you tell us more about the water damage you got? For the financing, what was the issue? Were you not able to sell them before the two year mark up?
