I’ve owned my own mobile home for years, but renting the land.
Due to a few good investments, I’ve recently been able to purchase 10 acres in a sprawling community. I paid cash.
Now I’m looking to use that land. Plan: Build a mobile home community.
There is water and electric provided. It is out in the county, with no zoning or restrictions, so I stand a good chance of banking as I get grandfathered in.
There is a 30x30 community building on property already (for parties/events). I’ll be moving my mobile home out there, and there is an existing MH on the grounds - I already have my first 5 tennents lined up.
We are in North Texas, and I’ve noticed that there are drought problems occasionally that really tear up the land & foundations of permanent houses (worse than frost can). So I’m looking to put in reinforced 3000# concrete slabs. I assume the slabs must be raised (for drainage), and that there should be a minimum of 6 anchors for each slab?
In addition I’m thinking 200A power disconnects with each meter, water, and either a community septic tank or one per lot (will make the grass greener anyway).
Finally - anyone know of a place where I can get repo homes, or how I can make arrangements with mobile home sales companies to have them send their business my way?
Thanks in advance -
Ray the Engineer.
