Hi Tom, Building a manufactured duplex on land could offer great returns, but it comes with complexity—zoning, utility hookups, and permitting can delay your timeline and add hidden costs.

These include drafting offering documents, adhering to ongoing disclosure rules, and audits, which can easily run tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

There’s usually not more than one investor with interest in any parcel so there’s is absolutely no incentive for the investor to pay a “wholesaler’s fee” in this scenario.In the scenario where the land is ready for development, and the economic conditions make development a profitable activity, the land owner has already been approached by the developer or multiple parties with offers to purchase.  

I do like the built in leasing that apartments offers over the OG Cozy site, but I don't really want to pigeon hole myself into the apartments.com brand (or Zillow, or any other of the type) so I'm starting to use rent redi.

Same month June of 2021 I was offered a great duplex and partnered up with my parents 50/50.

Structuring a joint venture (JV) or equity partnership can make the deal appealing by offering a share of cash flow and appreciation. 

Since you already have an offer, it’s not really about whether the property will sit for six months, it’s about whether keeping it makes financial sense.

So, this is less than a downpayment but it also offers a way to really diversify your investments. 

Selling it to someone willing to relocate it, offering it for free to avoid removal expenses, or donating it for a potential tax deduction could be better alternatives.If she passes without transferring ownership, the landowner might have to handle the trailer’s removal.

Once you build it correctly, you can offer it to other investors as a service.
