Phase Two: Adding 40 More Homes

Send us Fan MailCraters for roads, a neglected property, and a community that needed real infrastructure, not hype. We’re in South Texas working through a phased mobile home park turnaround, and I’m sharing what phase two actually looks like when you’re serious about scaling: a large raise to bring in 40 more units and move the park from about 40 paying tenants to roughly 80 homes.I talk through the unsexy upgrades that make everything else possible, including electric work, water and sewer, meters, cleanup, mowing, and signage. We also get into the road situation, why potholes became a priority, and how partnering with people who do construction for a living can save you from getting crushed on costs. Then there’s the real-world side of doing visible work: you post progress, someone laughs at it, and you learn fast that you’re never going to make everybody happy.You’ll also hear a transparent budgeting breakdown for expansion, including how I think about an all-in cost per spot (around $25,000), what hauling can run, and why hookups and small items can quietly become the biggest line. If you’re into mobile home park investing, value-add real estate, raising capital, or building cash-flowing communities in phases, this is the play-by-play you can learn from.
