Timeline is approximately 30-60 days to place modular units on-site. THE CASH FLOW:12 units at projected 2026 fair market rents generates $48,000 per month for 2 bedroom units, or nearly $300,000 annually in net cash flow. Immediate income: Develop 12 to 150 units of farmworker housing using subsidized 1% financing. The project is on schedule for a 100W three-phase power connection. The property is fully fenced. A new 300-foot agricultural well has been installed, producing approximately 200 gallons per minute & nursery license. Buyers should conduct full due diligence with new state laws and county. Buyer can farm it too. Buyer to verify new state and local laws and number of units.
