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!

(And I know a wrap probably isn't the first option many would choose, but I'm in Texas so its really my only option)

This allows investors to choose the most profitable and profitable areas for investment.

You will need to have the time, understand how to underwrite a real estate deal, understand how to market to buyers and sellers and have the ability to build a team on the ground in the market you choose. 

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

This cannot get passed through until the commissioners review and choose to vote on the bill. 

In a rapidly-rising interest rate environment (such as we've recently experienced) that tradeoff may or may not pay off.Unfortunately, in CRE finance there is no perfect financing vehicle and you can't eliminate risk--you must choose which risk you want.

@Tatum Littleton, I appreciate your welcome and reassurance that we are choosing a good starting place. 

For choosing an area: back then I did it by looking for frontiersman in the bodegas.  

Vanessa, If you choose the seller financed route, you could potentially continue investing under the bank's stringent debt-to-income radar, so to speak.
