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!

Costs a lot less to do all pad sites together versus individually. 2.  

But since you don’t know about the concrete pads how they will settle they have full rebuild coverage.  

Quote from @Marc Robinson: I have an off market opportunity. 30 pad trailer park, only 19 trailers currently on-site 17 with MTM tenants.

A financial calculator and legal pad might work in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, but that doesn't mean it's the best way to do it.

If it's something as easy as adding a parking pad then I would say it usually can make sense.

Find the people who turn dirt into pads, pads into foundations, foundations into hosueses and houses into communities.

This means you need to pad your rehab costs, make sure you have trusted service providers that do great work, and when you run comps be sure to bring them down a bit and see if the deal still makes sense.
