I want to start building our portfolio and would love some experienced help with direction.Over the past ten years, it seems like I've had numerous deals/ideas that just didn't come to fruition and I'm just feeling a bit defeated. 

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!

If you were more experienced, I would consider shuffling the portfolio and being aggressive, but I don't feel you are there yet. 

@Chris Seveney - Chris I know you know this, but sharing this for a lot of less experienced investors out there. 

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: There are probably more experienced people on this type strategy who will hopefully chime in. 

Start by networking through local meetups, REIA groups, and online communities like BiggerPockets to connect with experienced investors.

Looking to connect with an experienced tax professional regarding filings for my 2 STR properties (Gatlinburg & Hollywood FL) which were both recently cost segregated.

Every investor, even the experienced ones, has that “Did I mess up?”

Now, I hire experienced asset managers to buy, manage and eventually sell the assets.  

There are aggressive lenders out there with lower fees for experienced flippers.
