East Orlando Double-Wide Setup Project, 0.22 Acres

This is an incomplete manufactured-home installation project on a 0.22-acre vacant residential parcel in unincorporated Orange County. The property includes both halves of a 1996 double-wide mobile home already on-site, approximately 64 ft x 27 ft, configured as a 3 bed / 2 bath with a den. The home is not yet fully set, blocked, tied down, skirted, powered, or connected to well/septic. The parcel is zoned R-T-1, consistent with the surrounding Bithlo manufactured-home neighborhood, but the final installation, permits, title status, utility setup, impact fees, and site work all need to be completed before this becomes a financeable finished resale product.

Project Assets:

• Double-wide already on-site. The most expensive physical component is present, creating a faster path than sourcing and transporting a separate home.
• Large 3/2 plus den layout. At roughly 1,700+ sq. ft., the finished home would offer more living area than many nearby manufactured-home sales.
• Owned land / no park rent. This is a land-and-home project, not a mobile-home park deal, which is key for resale and rental demand.
• R-T-1 zoning. The parcel sits in a mobile-home-friendly east Orlando/Bithlo pocket where nearby properties include manufactured homes on individual lots.
• No HOA. Better flexibility for owner occupants, rentals, work vehicles, equipment, and future resale.

Rehab (Estimate):

• Mobile home setup: Block, level, tie down, attach both halves, complete marriage line, stairs/landings, skirting, and final install inspection.
• Septic system: DOH/site evaluation, perc/soil testing, permit, drainfield, tank, and installation.
• Well installation: Well, pump, tank, trenching, treatment as needed, and connection to the home.
• Electrical/service setup: Meter, service pole or pedestal, panel connection, grounding, final power hookup, and inspections.
• HVAC: New central system or approved manufactured-home HVAC package with permit.
• Impact fees and permits: Orange County impact fees, building/mobile-home install permits, utility permits, and administrative costs.
• Pad prep/site work: Grading, clearing, access, possible repositioning/resetting of the home, and drainage correction.
• Interior/exterior rehab: Repair and finish interior, flooring, paint, fixtures, kitchen/bath touchups, exterior siding/trim, doors, steps, and cleanup.
• Title/legal due diligence: Verify mobile-home VIN/title status, ownership transfer, and whether the home can be properly retired to real property after installation.

🟡 ARV & Rental Analysis

This is not a standard cosmetic flip. The finished value depends on completing the installation correctly, passing county/DOH inspections, confirming mobile-home title status, and turning the parcel into a clean land-and-home package. The nearby finished manufactured-home comps support a realistic resale target in the low-to-mid $200Ks for older 3/2 product on owned land. The subject has more square footage than most nearby comps, but the smaller 0.22-acre lot and 1996 age keep it well below the brand-new 18746 Seaford Ave sale.

Estimated ARV (completed but basic/rental finish): $220,000 to $240,000 +/-

Estimated ARV (fully completed, clean retail setup): $245,000 to $270,000 +/-

Projected Rent: $1,900 to $2,250/mo +/-
