Mobile Home Park or Houses?

I have access to money and and plenty of land. Do I want houses of Mobile homes? Whats the best route for income? I am from south GA so Mobile homes are easy to come buy here. I also come with construction skills and can build stick built house about 1400 sqft for less than 45k. I know that Mobile homes may be the quicker return, but I am looking at more of the long term. Whats going to hold up or will replacing mobile homes and making those repairs still more beneficial? 

Like I said I am new, so any help would be great. What have you all found to be more advantageous and why?

Don't build a MHP - especially in the Southeast.  The SE is just too low-income.  Plus, you can acquire MHPs already full of homes and cash flowing nicely for less than construction cost.

Please see the 'Resources' tab on our website for more information.

My 2 cents worth,
