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!

I'm wondering if some one can help with an explanation about why a Hotel has many rooms with tax lien on auction? 

Tenant pays all utils except water.  

With the purchase, the rehab, the closing costs and the holding costs (hard money, taxes, insurance, utilities) our all in is around $200,000, but we have created $40,000 in equity.

That's three months of mortgage and utilities, the cost of flooring, and the cost of painting.

Additionally, do you all generally use a smaller income criteria if the rent is inclusive of utilities? 

@Gene PanicciaManagement fees vary, but it's not uncommon for a PM to charge fees for managing tenant-paid utilities or coordinating repairs.

Listing your property there ensures visibility.Build Relationships: When agents reach out, respond quickly, highlight your property’s amenities, and showcase your flexibility to meet displaced families’ needs.Highlight Insurance-Friendly Features: Emphasize features like flexible lease terms, utilities included, and a fully furnished setup to attract insurance placements.This approach has helped me successfully market to insurance companies.

. $1300/month, tenant pays all utilities. 4 bedroom one is vacant.
