@Nick Connors Welcome to the 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!

Hello BiggerPockets Community!

Update to my previous post (the update button didn't seem to do anything for me).Their customer support team was able to help me get my account back, even though the email made it seem otherwise.

While I can imagine some cities might be against "boarding houses" or enforce their "brothel law" I can't imagine too many cities would be supportive of it. 

Additionally, most servicers will provide the tax documents needed at end of year (1099-INT, 1098-INT) and can also issue notices of NSF, late payments and support delinquency /default.

However, there are multiple documents that emphasize that all 1245 property determinations must be factual and supported by corroborating evidence.

A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, making it easy to find.If you have technical issues, email support@biggerpockets.com, and someone will help you.

It's nice to see the community showing support for STRs and pointing out that an STR doesn't solve any of the real problems.  

I could be wrong, but I don't think the economy supports those numbers.
