Building an RV Park from scratch under 50k?
just wondering if this is possible
Forum Discussion
Hi again, thanks for the pointers here! I still don't know how or if I should break it to them.
For the person saying I am more involved than I let on, omg thank GOD I am not!!!! Absolutely not, I hate to let you down but I think if I were this delusional I wouldn't be here getting information and doing my due diligence, I would just live in ignorant bliss...I will confess that 2/3 people involved are some of my best friends on earth and the other person is an ex of mine.
What is hard for me is that I spent a year not speaking to any of them and I (in the back of my head) wished for karma to hurt them....but now we have reunited and I feel horrible for ever wishing that, they are kind and amazing people, if YES very misled and very...idealistic to a fault.
I like what someone said about know the region and knowing that they could rent it for 300-400 a month, I think that is their budget situation, 15 spots at 350 a month would give them a profit. Their mortgage is 700 a month and they'd give 1/3 of the profit to the investor.
Yes I think the investor is not smart. Yes I am worried its going to fail miserably. Yes, their financials are a disaster. Yes I thank my lucky stars every day that I am not involved.
But No, I am not going to write them off immediately...maybe they can get people to agree to live in a shitty dirt lot with basic access to water and power for 50k without the right permits, and then as time goes by they can save to get the upgrades and permits they need, I DONT KNOW. i honestly doubt it very much, that is an ideal scenario...
tbh, they are all high school or college drop outs, very smart but not practical. I have a couple ivy league degrees (so obnoxious I KNOW) but they disregard my more "analytical mind" as closed and limited to opportunities and potential. I, on the other hand, view their plans as impetuous and reckless....
I am glad I am on the side I am .... they risk all their money on that 1 in a 1,000 shot, I on the other hand only fork over my money if the odds are greater than 50/50.
I used to wish that time would prove me right ....but now....No. I don't want that. I want to protect them...or help them succeed without involving my money and without seeming too controlling or negative...WHICH IS VERY HARD--given the power dynamics between us. As it is, anytime I correct my Ex or make fun of their language, I get a "sorry I am not as sophisticated as you" or "sorry I don't have the degrees you do" or "you should get back together with xyz because they are educated" --It is very very hard for me to relay pertinent information without it being targeted as pretentious babble of the elite...even though, like I said, I am from the same poor ass town they are without any savings or inheritance of my own

What would you do if these were your 3 best friends on earth? Who have a history of not listening to you or thinking you are too much of a blue blood ? (even though you are self-made?) It's a very delicate process for sure...
