Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

My focus leans more toward equity appreciation than cash flow, and as a rookie investor, I’m aiming to put aside about $25-30k for investments each year.In the meantime, I’m looking to connect with like-minded folks here for mentorship, partnerships, apprenticeships, and even collaborations.Would love to hear your thoughts, advice, or anything you think might help as I continue piecing everything together!

Best way is to just try to break it down piece by piece.Water- how is it being delivered to the homes. 

I've read J Scott's Books on flipping and gone through the Youtube rabbit hole but I feel like I'm missing a piece.

Don't split the work between multiple contractors if possible, finding one to do all or most of the work will keep prices down.Challenges were finding replacement pieces for certain items as manufactured homes were very different than stick built as well as going through state guidelines for affixing the house to the land

Some piece of communication is missing.  

My best piece of advice is find the most nit picky building inspector you can.

For a smaller piece like that, not sure how creative you can get, but it all depends on what it's zoning is, access, proximity to other things, etc.  

My piece of advice would be to research emerging neighborhoods and focus on areas with strong job growth and infrastructure development. 

My wife and I are looking to purchase a piece of vacant land from her parents.
