From Sydney - Zagreb - Hong Kong - Kansas City - ToledohahaYep, only way to do it in the Australian market is to manufacture the growth.Sounds great and will do.Enjoy the forum. you will find it quite overwhelming at times with all of the information hehe.

Speaking of VSU, the tri-cities area of Petersburg, Hopewell, and Colonial Heights is also a good place to look considering the proximity to Fort Lee and the numerous industrial/manufacturing employers in that area. 

I tend to lean that way as well and don't mind jumping into the trenches and getting my hands dirty as I'm also a general & manufactured home contractor, manufactured home dealer and developer, real estate broker, investor and property manager.

This will be a boon to the Tiny House and Manufactured Home Industry.

They have a good credit rating and good income but were just refused a loan for the home they want because it's a manufactured home.

Developing is a manufacturing business.

There is also a decent bit of manufacturing.
