It will help a lot if you understand accounting and how the statements are actually generated.

Quote from @Spencer Elliott: Long story short, land is on loan and I’m purchasing a manufactured lot as a temporary home/future ADU to my final build.

Its gets indexed by search engines very quickly and all those search engines keep complete copies of everything they indeWe care about our users and future viewiers, which is why our policies exist.

However the older generation that lived through the 80s really like that arcade cabinet and they are the ones paying for the trip. 😉

We're new to real estate and would appreciate advice on our current home in Texas and our future place in Oregon.We love our house in Austin and aren't ready to sell, but as a long-term rental, it would yield (from what I understand) negative cash flow, covering principal and interest but not taxes and insurance.

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!

This is my first investment of this sort and it has not worked out how I originally intended but I am learning from my mistakes and will be making better decisions in the near future What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I think you can definitely run into a potential guest using that against you in the near future and opening the door for liability. 

Others recommend tools like Stessa or Buildium to track actual costs and project future expenses.
