Not a one size fits all answer unfortunately 

If it works cleanly, then you can decide which capital source fits best.

This seems like a great fit: own the land, live there affordably, generate passive cash flow from pad rents, and minimize day-to-day management headaches.I'm also open to a small RV park as an alternative (or hybrid), especially if it allows easier owner-occupancy and more passivity in rural areas.Location-wise: Rural spots in eastern TN, like around Chattanooga, Sequatchie Valley, Bradley/Polk counties, or further out—affordable land with good zoning potential.Since I'm new to MHPs (and RV parks), I'd love insights from anyone who's done something similar, especially in TN:-Zoning/Permits for Small Parks: Easier paths for owner-occupied small MHPs or RV parks in rural eastern TN counties?

They need a solution that actually fits their situation.That’s where the opportunity lives right now.This market doesn’t reward generic offers.

If I see anything that fits your criteria I could pass it your way.Regarding your two specific questions about an attorney and an accountant, it is my general advice that you always work with business professionals when conducting business.

Looking forward to networking, and please let me know if you know of any opportunities that might fit this plan! 

Maybe that's the angle I need to lean into \ since I enjoy the "targeting" aspect of finding property. 

Then only bring them deals that truly fit.

Your wealth may be in equity - physical, mental, financial - there's no one size fits all.I'll close with this - because I know a flood of information is overwhelming all at once.

That model works very well for many landlords and is not the right fit for everyone.
