These are on large retail refurbs ($2m+)On smaller scale SFR refurbs I have done, I pay each sub upon completion.

However, if I go 35 minutes down the road, there is a smaller city with quite a bit of manufacturing, distribution, industrial type jobs.

Also, they expect small scale landlords to be much more lax when collecting rent and/or evicting.

Vacancy rate is 17%3. middle to low class income area4. mostly retired people.Based on this information my options are:A. to purchase 2 manufactured 3/2 homes (one for each lot at a cost of $39k each) to re-sale for $80k each (after selling and other cost) I estimated a $40k profit. the negative part of this option is that based on my research, manufactured homes may not sale for that high in this area.B. to purchase 2 mobile homes for $5k to $10k each and resale at cost just to recuperate the $30k of the land, cost of Mobil homes and any other cost.C. will be to do option A but to rent each for $500 to $600 per month based on what I can get for Section 8 in that area.Please let me know what you think or if you will consider another option.Additional facts:1. this will not be a 1031 or like kind exchange (based on IRS info)2.

Scale up and bank the cash.

I have been putting in stainless steel, double door refrig, flat top stove, microwave and dishwasher all by the same manufacturer.

Keep in mind that if you want to scale that business, you eventually have to "put down the hammer".Being a flooring contractor is a certain advantage, capitalize on that.

The hot water heater will probably have all kinds of sediment and scale build-up.

Consult your local DMV, manufactured housing division in your state, and talk to them about licenses in your state regarding financing and the purchase/sale of mobile homes in your state.

This may not compare in costs because from my experience the fees are a sliding scale based on property value.
