Hi Brian,It sounds like you’re weighing some great options!

I am happy to connect and chat with you if you would like. 

We have a potential buyer of a lot in St Augustine, FL who would like to build a new single family short term rental.

We ran numbers across several probabilities and it seemed like a safer bet when we purchased. 

I do understand that the answer likely varies depending on location - this is in a very nice suburb of Philadelphia. 

Sounds like you're already moving in all the right directions. 

Then talk to a qualified, professional QI like @Dave Foster.

Buying a mobile home to place on your land can be a great way to generate rental income, but like any investment, it comes with pros, cons, and key considerations.On the pro side, mobile homes are typically more affordable than traditional single-family homes, meaning lower upfront costs.

Yes. build to rent in urban core adjacent neighborhoods. traditionally in our market in Columbus Ohio existing inventory was good 2014-2020. as prices rose, the cost to build started to match existing inventory prices because of supply shortage, especially for 2-4 multiunit dwellings. around that time we started to look at new construction and land. we found that land is a 12 month or more supply in our market which makes it a buyers market and you can design any structure you want in new construction. if you like a layout or floorplan all you have to do is design it. after that we looked at the right unit mix and Floorplans and layouts. we started looking at high rent per square foot layouts that were better than single family.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like.
