Utilities will be among the first in for cleanup actions. 

Our first event may be geared toward beginners but I’d like to have discussions at all levels & all different topics.It will only be 40 minutes long max, because that’s what my Zoom account is set up for.See our announcement on Bigger Pockets here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/...I’ll be discussing some of the most common questions people have about real estate.

We've utilized the VA loan for our current home, and this strategy has worked well so far.

I'd like to take a deeper dive into subject to, wraps and other related things to educate myself and see whether some of these might be things I can actually utilize in my real estate journey. 

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!

@Ryan BroschardHi Ryan,You have hit a common issue many new investors fail to anticipate.  

How messed up the other utilities are, how much has to get torn up and infrastructure done before any rebuilding can take place. 

I imagine there’s a different dynamic with tenants sharing common spaces, so I’d love to get your insights on how to manage this aspect effectively.Thanks for sharing your experience, looking forward to learning more!

Some must be using PriceLabs because it’s so common. 

I don't expect to know everything by then, but I hope to develop a basic strategy that prevents me from making the most common and costly mistakes that a newbie can make.
