Glad to have you as a part of this awesome community, Chandler! 

Welcome to the BiggerPocket's community!

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

Tahoe isn't ideal right now as the local community is vehemently anti-Airbnb and the permitting system is challenging to navigate.

I do expect greater development of condos and townhomes and higher density single family communities. - Acreage will continue to be a very hot commodity.

I've never really done a deep dive in analyzing the area because it is a retirement community, median income is very low, and there arent a lot of jobs in the area.

🔍 Investor Insight Needed – Owner Finance Returns on 1st Lien Positions 🔍Hey BiggerPockets community,I'm looking to connect with investors who fund owner-financed purchases in a 1st lien position.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Oregon finally passed legislation to reel in unlicensed wholesaling its in this months publication from the state RE agency.Highlights:Goes into effect  July 1 2025Requires:On line application to become a licensed wholesaler  ( RE agents exempt from this of course they already have licenses)Name of company and individuals who will be performing these services.Each one needs a full criminal background check and approval prior to receiving the license.300.00 annual fee for the license.Written Disclosures in Bold 10 point.These must be given to Buyer and Sellers prior to entering into a wholesale contract and signed for.Also RE brokers assisting wholesalers need to give these to potential buyers and sellers.

So glad you introduced yourself.. what's the first question you'd ask a seasoned pro in our community?

Since you are in Scranton, you might want to consider Big Bass Lake, a community that does well in the summer.
