Deal specs - existing commercial building in great mixed use area, retail first floor, 2-3floors apts above.

The last one I built was a 3300 sq foot center hall colonial with 9' first floor ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, 2x6 exterior wall construction & R-19 in the walls, all low-e glass...it cost me $106K delivered & set, on a new 31'x52' foundation that cost $25K.

Returns can definitely be higher, similar to notes on MH's.Keep in mind some parks only allow owner occupants and others may have space rent too high for it to make sense, so you have to find the right parks and the right deals.

When viewing the house there seemed to be major water damage from the top floor.

What did you do to the floor in the kitchen and the family room?

I have only flipped 3 houses so far with varying hours dedicated to each...My first flip I ended up doing the interior painting, exterior painting, hardwood flooring and the kitchen tile backsplash and some miscellaneous punch list items.

Home Owners, Hazard Insurance and Floor will be a definite.

However, if, as a wholesaler, you can provide real value in this area to your buyers, you will stand out above the rest... and gain a huge advantage.My student, in Jax, of all places, actually went to Home Depot and priced out stuff like counter tops, flooring, paint, appliances, fixtures, etc, etc and created a spreadsheet in excel.

Great points made above....Here is some better advice as to my last suggestion of just pouring the floor...LOLGet that sub that has more experience with the city and incorporate him as your lead contractor to deal with the city as you go along, pay him a bit more to act as the GC in areas of running the job per the plans and specs, with you having final authority.

I don't have any advice to offer you as a MHP investor, but there are plenty of savvy folks in that space here on the site.
