So, I also have been trying to make some cents of this.. you can find 4 plex's and 8 plex's selling for $130k per door (+- 800 sq ft) in a market that will pay up to $300 per square foot for 1 bed 1 bath homes (300 x 800 = $240,000) 2 bed @ 215k, 3bed @ $211k and 4 bed @$193k  found here  http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Highlands_Ranch-Colorado/market-trends/Thus, the problem is why build a small apartment complex on open land that may command $150k per door with fewer exit strategies and smaller group of buyers, when you  can build townhomes with similar footprint, with a similar door count, a much higher sales price per door, multiple exit strategies and the whole population is your buyer. seems to me the most equitable use of soil would be to build 3 stories with the first story being single floor unit and 2nd and 3rd floor being a 2 story townhome type or condo look to allow for individual sales and possibly sell the vertical units as live in one and rent the bottom.... ah that was a cool thought  ...

The footprint for the house is maximized.

Even if you are comfortable with the deal a commercial lender is going to want due diligence you wouldn't even think of for a SFH like a phase one environmental. etc.

It's good to know you are buying a park that has the proper inspections and certifications, but it also means at any time the state can decide that your well has been tainted and needs to be shut down, or your lagoon system is leaching or causing environmental issues. 

I'm guessing this is also not in a prime neighborhood, so you have environmental issues and/or expenses to worry about. 

I am busting my rear suspension to reduce my financial footprint to this level.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made its mark on our real estate industry—from accelerating existing trends (like the reduction of retail footprints) to spawning new ones (such as a bigger focus on social justice and health and wellness).

Tech companies are continuously moving here and establishing a footprint in Columbus as well.

It meets all the zoning by laws for set backs with its current foot print but fails to meet the zones 1 acre lot minimum and 150 feet of frontage ( 92 feet of frontage on a cul de sac ).
