@Henry Clark is an expert on Storage development maybe he could give some pointers.

TV developers continue to build new construction, and many folks bought in the market to rent out before retiring in the last 18 months. 

I am in the process of expanding a mom and pop self storage facility and I am looking for a mentor.

I'm wanting to get into Multi Family development in the Houston area and have started to look at potential projects.

It is possible to develop the deal and not build anything at all.

The fact that 8 acres were developed and 200 were left as farm is a clue there is some issue.Another first step would be to determine the possible economics of the development.

I've been using it for over 4 years for self showings with no issues.

PS: If you find out where all of the developers post on forums (aside of the 5-20 at bp) please dm me.

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!

Land  Development and vertical construction are hands down the toughest loans to get..
