Are they going to put you through hell during the process, and are you okay with it?

,While no investment is completely passive, proper real estate investing should be relatively boring.You asked about the process and major considerations.

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!

It's such an exciting part of the process!

Would like to get the process going. 

I'm at the very starting phase of this process.

We take care of the entire process—from sourcing and purchasing properties to managing renovations and the final sale or rental.

For instance - I am looking to see if anyone has experience with installing recessed lighting into a horse hair plaster ceiling and if anyone could offer advice on the process I should take when doing so? 

If someone wants to be in that "it depends" grey area and try to introduce Bitcoin into a traditional mortgage application process (but don't bother trying if it's FHA), please have a Plan B and be careful with your contingencies. 

best wishes  i dont do gap funding at all.. so no.. not something I would do we do JV deals every week but we have zero debt all cash and we control the process.
