Do mobile homes need special land preparation before they are put in

Cement pads?
Drainage (in addition to sewer connection)?
Does buying vacant land in Texas and building a mobile home park seem
like a good investment to you?



I would suspect that starting a brand new
__permanent__ mobile home park -
ie : not a trailer park
- on a piece of un-serviced property -
would involve a ton of money ; a good lawyer
and some connections with the county government.
: community water well - supply and treatment ?
: sewage treatment ?
: electrical distribution capacity ?
: any natural gas nearby ?
: zoning changes ?
: emergency services - fire ; ambulance ; police fees ?
: roads dept. approvals for heavy traffic ?
. . etc etc etc just getting warmed up !

The local municipality should be able to answer your question
about specific mobile home building code issues.

Over the years, I've known people who lived in "trailer parks"
my Dad - in his early retirement years - by choice
- they were all lovely people - unfortunately - some of their
neighbours were not ... but that can happen in town !

And I woulnd't want to build and rent an apartment building either.

Now I just have to convince my friend it's a bad idea.
