Shaun buying land and building a house on it is one of the things I've wanted to do. I might still? If the utilities are available for the lot it's not o hard to do. A mobile home? Check to see if the zoning allows it before you got that way. State and town laws are different and living in a State that has mobiles homes everywhere I found some places they don't allow it. I thought the same, buy some land and throw a MH on it until. Here they're killing off them off. Closing MH parks to put up condo's. So do your homework before making plans.
Hey I'll tell you what? Let me know what you have in mind with that. Maybe I'll do the same and I do have home building experience. :icon_cool: Maybe we would be neighbors? hehe
Vince,
I have already checked into it. The lots I am looking at already have electricity and water. I would have to put in a septic system. The parcel I am looking at has 9 - 40' X 80' lots. You need 4 lots to put a house or a mobile home on it. The mobile home (MH) needs to be 1976 or newer. The county (Georgia) I currently reside doesn't allow MH's any more. They will do new double wides on 10 acres. The lots I am looking at are just over the river in South Carolina and they are much more accepting of MH's.
If I do option #3 it would give me most all it need to bring Pinky back plus a place to stay. I would try to rent to my son to at least cover the monthly cost so that it would not be a drain financially.
There is another lot about 1 mile from this location that is undeveloped that is a 100' X 180' if I remember correctly that is a part of the of the land deal. I am looking for a suitable MH low enough to make it worth my while plus attractive enough for the bank.
Both parcels are 5 miles from town and 5 miles from the dam at the lake, huge lake, Lake Thurmond named after Strom Thurmond; about 3 miles from the Savannah River if I want to go and just drop a hook in the water; 8 miles from a Kroger and Walmart; to me an ideal location. There may be other lots out there, I have not checked.
If it were to be at least the women would have someone close by to talk to.
