I work with several real estate developers across the country and they all do it differently.My suggestion is to find a property type and an area/neighborhood/city/market that you are drawn to and plot your course from there.As for the amount of money you'll need, it's gonna be mostly driven off the purchase price of the property.

South grays ferry, sure, definitely not the same but the ones that are right across the street from GradHo especially considering OCF's new massive development that is replacing the chocolate factory definitely have higher values. 

Don't forget you need the original developer's permission to conduct structural changes to the villa inside and out.

Happy to help with development, syndication or Boise specific info.

They seem to be in development and backordered for years. 

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!

We develop, build, and manage multifamily projects in rural southeast US markets—think rural Georgia, Alabama, or the Carolinas.

we are setting up two OZ funds and would love to talk about what you've found. one is for land development and is more active the other is passive real estate ownership of extended stay. all are ground up. 

But, I was once a paid preparer and prepared or supervised the preparation of tens of thousands of tax returns and I saw some pretty stupid self prepared mistakes.

Embarassing self-reply, but if anyone on the internets stumbles on this one.
