Momentum 2025: Virtual Investing SummitJoin me and hundreds of active investors for an immersive 8-week virtual summit designed to help you identify opportunities, avoid costly mistakes, and build lasting wealth in 2025 and beyond.

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!

Don't know what else I can tell you to help you choose. 

Would greatly appreciate advice from all of you BP experts!

I don't know that @Dave Foster earlier mention worked...I'll let him chime in as the expert, but you can 1031 for less it just results in 'boot' which is taxable.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. 

I would love to help you in any way that I can in your new adventure.
