When we found this deal the community had around 45 homes in it, now we are close to 60 total homes and looking to bring that number up to around 80.

.: Hello All, I'm interested in building a Mobile Home Park on some property I have in Texas. 

My suggestions:* Requiring code compliance and safety equipment is absolutely valid and should be part of the regulations* Requiring owners live within 15 miles is not necessary since poor hosts whether they're local or distant will violate the 3-5 warning system and earn a suspension.

The plan is to purchase a new home & keep current as a long term rental.

I have a followup question - I will realize a lot of capital gain from this home in Idaho, so I think unless I purchase a new primary residence I will have to pay that capital gains tax. 

Hi Garry,To ensure your safety, it is highly recommended to visit areavibes.com and select the "See more crime data" option.

We look at things like safety, unemployment, schools.

You will get some of these as well (This inquiry was for one of my 1500 SF 2 Bed + home office units)..... but by no means does this investment strategy warrant paying for a course.

Personally, I've bought older homes since I invest in mobile homes myself.

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.
