Joseph, do you build homes?

If so, reach out to me.

Very True! I have several manufactured/modular homes in my development. Although, even factory built are not being built by developers/investors. We continue to see the need for housing yet no one is building these homes.

So what is the goal of a developer/contractor/investor? To make a profit? If one could invest in factory built for 260,000.00 turn key and sell for 290,000.00 is that not enough? I would think 30,000.00 is a good return in 6 months. In my development this can be done.

So I wonder, what am I missing here?

I own a fully developed property available now to build 20 homes which would sell most likely prior to completion.

I do not build, but have offered all kinds of agreements on my land to bring homes to my community. I can not find any builders, developers, investors wanting to build homes. Although, I hear on going complaints how no one can afford to build.

Understanding this is true, but in my case the work has been done for you and the price is very affordable. Money can still be made on affordable housing. So, what is the problem? Could it be more is going on then we want to acknowledge? Are expectations too high for todays market? Does politics play a role here somewhere?

Just wondering???

Agree, given the share from the late 90s, a 10% share is a good forecast…

The demand is insane, executing and meeting those demands is hard. The latter is why I think the market share is only 2% and not 10%+. Call me crazy but in 5-10 years offsite will be closing in on 10% of the market IMO.
