If its bare dirt , it just needs to be raked flat , anybody can lay sod , that isnt the issue , its the 3 weeks after its been laid making sure its watered enough .  

@Laura Casner Do you know how far it is to the water table?

There's no one home to put the fire out or turn the water off if a pipe burst.

Thats not surprising since there is no electricity or hot water.

Pros could be: Clean water + tub for each guest; on a well, so no water waste concern; can make it design-y + cute; can be used winter (hot water) + summer (cool water); goes better with forest location of the home than a traditional hot tub might; will hold same number of guests as hot tub would (2 people in each tub).In researching I have seen some people on Airbnb have these checked in amenities as 'hot tub', some 'private hot tub'.

On REOs, HUDs, VAs and other you can get inside but most of the time the utilities are shut off, and heat has been off for a long time at least one winter, in some cases more than one winter and are possible freeze damage to water pipes, hot water heat pipes and even boilers/hotwater heaters. 

Cool seal does not save the overhang/drip edge and you will eventually get water down the walls.

No water is leaking into the unit, the ceiling tiles just get a slight discoloration.

Now many states that I'm familiar with have statutes that cut off ancient claims and interests. 

But per lot it will cost roughly the following:$1,500 Electrical poles, meter installation $2,000 water taps and connections$5,000 grading and land prep$8,000 septic installation (assuming a 1:1 ratio of homes to 1000 gallon septics)$5,000 down payment on each home ($700-750 / thereafter per unit)$21,500 total set up x 17 = $365,000Ongoing expenses after development would look something this for POH model: $12,750 a month in mobile home mortgages (17 x 750 for PITI on each unit) $1,900 a month in land mortgage PITI (house) $3,000 a month landscaping$2,000 a month in reserve emergency fund$2,200 management$21,850 a month total expenses $262,200‬/yearOngoing incomes after development would look something this for POH model:$27,000/month ($1500 x 18 {17 mobile homes plus house})$324,000/year324k-262,2k = 61,800 net pre-tax profit or $5,150/month.Opportunities to reduce start up expenses: Bulk deals with the government or contractors for doing all the work at once (electrical, water, land grading, septic) Trade free rent for someone to mow and landscape (turning a $3k event into a $650 event every month).
