🔍 Investor Insight Needed – Owner Finance Returns on 1st Lien Positions 🔍Hey BiggerPockets community,I'm looking to connect with investors who fund owner-financed purchases in a 1st lien position.

So glad you introduced yourself.. what's the first question you'd ask a seasoned pro in our community?

Hello community,I have researching on benefits of long-term rental, and a bit stuck on requirements to be full time real estate professional (the 700 hours) if one has to be able to take tax advantages.

I've never really done a deep dive in analyzing the area because it is a retirement community, median income is very low, and there arent a lot of jobs in the area.

Welcome to this awesome community.

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!

Kind of reminds me of some of the golf course communities out here where if you bought a lot you had to pay the 100k transfer fee for the membership and 1k a month dues..

As a community I think we should focus on helping people who have had their housing situation negatively impacted recover as quickly as possible.

well that depends on you and your knowledge and your skill/luck etc and no one else. with stocks and with RE, sometimes you get the turn-around projects too, which can suck up your money and be losers or end up as huge winners, when the community recognizes the value add or the company turns it around.
