Background check needed?

The cost to re-zone would be everything I have- and considering I have loans that exceed this -it would technically be leveraged. 

Little background - As a married couple, since 2016-2022 we used a local well-known CPA in Austin,TX who prepared our taxes (and helped with some tax strategy/planning) for a W2 HIE + business owner.

This means they have passed their education requirements, tests, continuing education, background checks, fingerprinting, etc.

My personal background is actually in accounting.

always background check your contractors even if you know them, always do a bring down report fully before moving forward (but after the contract is signed for purchase), get to know the neighbors they give you more insight into everything.

@Ashley Baldock, I would be careful about denying people with background issues that they DON'T have!

I have a strong background in multifamily and retail development but I have never done a MHP before.

I come from a data science background, so I'm accustomed to creating models to derive the incremental ROI of each variable.I hear some people saying "get the $10,000 hot tub", and I get that, especially if it's a "table stake" that your property needs just to be considered by guests.However, when thinking about less standard amenities, like putting greens, gaming rooms, billiard tables, pool toys, etc. what tools or methods do y'all use to evaluate if a given idea will deliver a positive ROI?

With your background in managing an asphalt maintenance company and your wife's expertise as a licensed agent, you have a strong foundation for real estate investing.
