Hey BiggerPockets Community!

@Dan ShuderWelcome to the community!

I’d suggest starting with local credit unions or community banks—they’re often more flexible with investment properties.

I think if you set up your platform listings appropriately you will do well.You could also contact local wedding and event coordinators and make them aware of your listing.

Do you generally buy new build or old homes for rental purposes Not all new build communities sell to investors, but some/most do.

Hello BP Community,My sister and I are partnering up to delve into the REI world of MTRs.

Quote from @Fumi Maher: Hello community,I am a new investor in the Austin area, TX and debating between two strategies.

Is anyone else aware of reasonable alternatives?

I’m excited to join the BiggerPockets community and connect with fellow investors. 

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!
