Hey BP Community,I am wanting to get into flipping and I have the construction experience but am lacking the cash or money to fund a deal. I have been trying to save up money but it is not near a down payment for a tr...

Helps you stand apart from similar 4 bedroom homes and if you choose to pursue a rent by the room strategy in can create additional cash flow.

I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.

The property itself should bring in revenue ( even if you choose not to live in one side) and generally a bank will accept a portion of that rental income into the calculation. 

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!

Is there a reason you aren't willing to do your own diligence and invest on your own and choose to knowingly take a worse deal through a TK provider?

A lot of 'off-grid' places are not, which will lower their value and resale ability.Also, you are decreasing your potential market by choosing a venture like this..not everyone will find composting toilets as cool as you and I might.Having said that, I think it could be a great find, if it check all the the boxes.

Low down payment (3.5%) is attractive, but comes with mortgage insurance and might not offer the best rates.

In all major cities, especially ones with a higher crime index, unless you study the market and know it, I would never rely on someone else to choose a block.

Some, like ours, focus on offering optional services such as renters insurance or washer/dryer rentals without requiring tenants to opt into a full package.When choosing a property manager, I recommend asking about the structure and purpose of any fees.
