@Cameron Kolling  A mobile home that is transportable is considered personal property.

Lubbock has a low barrier to entry and has several backup economic drivers by being the primary hub (agriculture, financial, healthcare, material goods, transportation, entertainment) for an area the size of most states east of the Mississippi.

The first floor will be a bi-level with four bedrooms with an enclosed porch.

Sure it can be a write off, but my question is if it is the highest and best use of your time (or the given employees time) to be running a skid steer - transporting it, storage, maintenance, cleaning, etc, and if it still makes sense if you need to hire someone to run it for you and take care of the other things.Add up all those recurring costs - maintaining the machine, maintaining the trailer, having a large enough truck to tow it, insurance and registration for all of the above, your time or your employees time related to all of the above...even at $14k a year it might be attractive enough to keep paying that and having them drop it off at the job site for you.A brand new machine could easily cost you over 6 figures - that's 7 years of rentals at $14k/year before including all the holding costs. 

What makes NJ good is being in areas with favorable land lording laws and proximity to transportation/NYC. 

Closeness to transportation is always better, but that is a tradeoff too.

Tricky, to get people to move in, it would need to be accessible to transportation, town...but the city has not accepted them so much legally as a living space.  

We personally always stay at a Disney resort due to the simplicity of the Disney transportation system and park hoping.That said there are many people that want to save a buck or stay in a bigger place so that all their family and friends can be with them.

The current owner has worked in the business since 1981, and owned it since 2007.Key features:- $25k minimum investment- 4 year timeline, projected annual IRR 35% and equity multiple 3.12- adjacent to public transport, in a suburb where there is both housing demand and limited supply.- operator has built and filled a similar development nearby- You can find pictures and numbers on some of the buildings they have built and are building here (https://lnkd.in/gfbdvtnf).- You can find a profit calculator spreadsheet here (https://lnkd.in/g-2m_vZA).

Usually, this is where there are issues which tends to happen after transporting the home to the end location.
