Greeting BP! Long time listener...First time caller! I have been trying to help my father sell his 15 +/- acre vacant land that is zoned to allow MH/Rv parks with up to 15 units per acre for a few years now and i'm not having much luck. The property is in North FL next to an existing RV park and has water and sewer available at the site. Much of the entitlement process was successfully done several years ago so the land is essentially ready to go. I have it on the local MLS and loopnet but have not been getting any action. I would love some advice on how to best reach potential investors who would be interested in the RV park development opportunity. Below is the description I have on Loopnet. Ty in advance
-Potential RV park development opportunity next to beautiful ST. Johns river and adjacent to Welka State forest. 15 acres +/- zoned tourist commercial (allows RV park) with impressive density of 15 units per/ acre. MUNICIPAL WATER/SEWER & utilities available to the site. This could be PHASE II of existing RV park, Lazy days resort, which has a small marina and river access. Welka is only 50 minutes from Gainesville, 10 miles from lake George, and 30 miles from Palm costs beaches. Possible owner financing or JV.
Hello Jordan,
I'm interested. My only issue, which is rather substantial, is not knowing Florida at all.
How big is the neighboring park / what's their occupancy?
Will DM.
Cheers,

Hi Jordan, what about trying to contact other local RV Park owners? Unlike apartments and other types of real estate most MH and RV Parks are Mom & Pop type development with few corporate developers. Developing a park from scratch is not an easy undertaking even with the partial process started. The issue is that it can take quiet a bit of time to fill a Mobile Home Park and RV Parks can also take time to fill unless there is also a current demand.
I'll message you for more info as I may have some resources for you. Good luck!
