Gary Harris I'm on the same boat as others!

Facebook ads is powerful, IF you do it right.You need a lot of education, training, trial and error and perseverance to make it work.That's why I've been educating myself and doing trainings worth tens of thousands of dollars.Heart surgery is powerful too.

These folks get persnickety on the minutia.You may also need a notarized copy of the Abstract of the Trust to prove your right to be the Executor and your Powers.

Certainly you can be successful investing there but you've missed the boat on the massive appreciation.

I am in the same boat right now where I have a duplex that will cashflow about $300 a month, but I don't plan on doing any repairs.

Ideally, my goals to get started are long term holds with positive monthly cash-flow and gain the power of compound interest.

(Going the FHA route gives you negligible negotiating power, right?

Hey Brendon,We have a small campground we built so hopefully I can offer a little help until others contribute.Lots of things determine the construction cost and not being from your desired location handicaps me.That being said maybe I can at least shed some light on your idea.Things that will determine actual per lot cost are power,sewer and water.1-Underground power is the way to go,more cost but more spaces because of overhead clearance restrictions.2-Available sewer also is best but septic systems work fine but cost more and chew up land area and require more long term maintenance (we have septic systems,3 spaces per system). 3- Water,there again country,or city water is best but a well and your own systems works fine also just requires more upkeep.As far as the park itself it's best to (IMO).1-set park up with three sections to accommodate different styles of campers,over night,seasonal and annual (if area warrants),all three have there pros and cons,overnight area is cheapest to construct since you'll just have bathhouse ( no septic,power or water per site). seasonal spaces will be completely developed but will rent for highest amt because it's short term (usually power is included into rate).Last is annual which again lots are fully developed but not so much in and out and consistent cash  flow,tenants put utilities in there name as they would a SFR. 

However, if you spending $499 will help propel you to the next level then more power to you.

This is why the BRRRR strategy is so powerful, it has the ability in the cash out refi, to give you cash for your next deal built into it.
