Many of the things that made CA the titan have changed, CA does not have exclusivity on it as before.

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 exclusively work with out of state investors like yourself to help them find some great properties to start/build onto their portfolios in the Memphis market. 

My recommendation would be to choose potential markets - in several price points - that have strong rental demand and year-over-year rent increases and that also are in markets that are appreciating. 

I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.

You can't decide which one to choose based on the minimal information you provided.

Choosing landlord software is often about what kinds of features you need.

You could choose to let your mother stay in the property rent-free.
