Recommended states for MH business and license
Hi, we are just making our first steps into the Land Home package business. Our background is a nation-wide land-only operation, so we aren't bound to any specific state/county, and for this business we are going to focus on 1-2 states and a few counties. Apart from the market itself, a main decision factor will be license feasibility, since we operate remotely. Can anyone share any knowledge and insights on this matter? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Sean! Great insights! You are completely right. Right now we are working with investor-friendly dealers, helping make the deals potentially profitable. It definitely helps to kickstart the business, but over time, focusing on one area and getting a license may be to way to go. I understand NC is not requiring yet an actual brick and mortar store? From your experience, do you see it feasible for a remote company to get a license? From the research I did, Alabama and Oklahoma appear to be good states. Anyone with experiene there?

Forgot to mention our land operation! During the last couple years we have been moving more and more towards development projects. Last year we had projects in probably 10 states, but now we are narrowing down as part of our updated strategy (less states, bigger projects). Our initial intention was to combine the MH business with our existing subdivision one, only to find out they weren't 100% compatible, mainly because of lot sizes and values. We are still looking to combine them - which should be great - but with a specific subdivision approach, more suitable for the land home model. Will update you as we go!

Hey @all, glad to be part of this community and thanks Sean for creating and nurturing it - great initiative! As Max said, we come from land-only and are making our first steps into Land Home market, so lots to learn! We run a remote operation doing bsn across the US, now focusing on fewer states/counties. Last year we've done +/-100 deals. Looking forward to connect with you all, share knowledge and support each other. Happy to share our learnings in the land market if it helps.

@Sean Ade Thanks! We feel the market has changed a lot during the last year for several combined reasons. As part of our adaptation but also growth process, we are undergoing some important changes, moving away from high-volume-50-state-prospecting typical of the flipping model, towards bigger development projects and localized approach.
New Listing Under Contract in 48 Hours
Got a full price offer on my latest project in less than 48 hours! 20 Aggie Way, Franklinton, NC 27525 | Zillow This was a really fun one. I met an investor that was going to buy a MH from me and I was just going to be the dealer, but he asked if I'd be open to partnering. The agreement was I run the project and he'd pay for it. Total Cost- $216,453 Land- $42K + closing costs Home- $84K Clearing, Grading, Well and Septic, Footers and Install- $46,660 Brick Skirting- $7500 HVAC, plumbing, electrical, front porch & Back deck, driveway, labor, materials- $26,293 GC Fee- $10,000 Under Contract at $300,000 5% realtor commissions + closing costs Roughly a $67K profit I was lucky enough to have an investor that could do this one all cash, so no financing or holding costs which makes the numbers look better. We also hit a 2 month delay this past winter with all the snow and ice we got, so we actually were a little behind schedule. It goes to show that doing deals in the winter does get a little unpredictable. Us North Carolina folk don't know how to handle sub 30 degree weather or any snow and ice, so literally nothing got done for about 2 months. Had we had lender fees, that would've hurt, but that is the risk we take by doing deals in the middle of the winter, and is something that we need to plan for as investors. Overall, incredibly happy with how this deal turned out!
