Let's help you duplicate that success in the Houston Area.I am a Houston, Texas based Investor Broker/Agent who has worked with over 400 BiggerPockets Members and Investors. 

Now I'm wholesaling mobile homes on land and in parks. 

This sounds like a home run and a great first purchase!!

If that is all ok then get a very good local realtor to run comps in that area to determine the conservative value of the home once you've completed the renovation work(ARV).

Ask questions and get good at determining motivation and inspecting homes. 

Don't put a high list price based on what you want, needs to be based on solds

One developer I worked with built smaller homes around a central courtyard, and buyers appreciated the balance of affordability and community.In San Diego, where I’m based, density has taken a different shape...like ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) that maximize land value.

Quote from @John Lee: Hi all,My name is John and I'm a recent college grad about to start a Masters (SF/San Jose Area home base in California).

Knowing what to budget for when buying a home may feel intimidating — but it doesn’t have to be.

@Frank Pyle yeah, this is pretty normal and the type of home you use isn't of consequence.
