What is a MHP startup cost on land

Jimmy Raiford
Posted

I am currently looking into purchasing land to build a MHP and want to know the startup cost to do so. The Land I am looking at already is zoned to have MH's and currently has a building used for auto repairs so it has some of the infostructure needed but im not aware of what all is needed. Any resources that would be useful that covers what is needed would be appreciated

Thanks in advance!

Best advice without getting into the nuts and bolts of your situation is to simply avoid building a mhp from scratch.  Unless you really have expertise in site development, permitting, construction, landscaping, etc... you will be in way over your head financially before you ever hopefully get a single home in your park.  PE groups are causing tremendous instability in the mobile home realty market which is keeping potential home buyers out of parks.  You are better off finding a pre existing park and purchasing as is.  

There is a reason very, very, very few new mobile home parks are being developed.  It doesn't pencil.
