Newbie with an interest in investing into RV parks

[Gyn Samples]

Hello BP community! My partner and I are looking to invest in a RV park. We have experience in traveling around the Western USA in our RV and have stayed in various RV parks along the way. With our backgrounds and experiences we feel confident that we could manage an RV park, but we have no experience in real estate investing or buying properties in general. Any advice would be helpful! We are currently looking into finding an agent, but we have some questions.

1. We are looking to buy in East/Central Texas, but live in West Texas. We assume we need to find an agent that lives in the area we are looking for, but can the same agent help us look in other areas or do we need to find a different agent for that area?

2. Will an agent help us get pre-approved/find funding or do we need to figure that out on our own?

Thank you all in advance!
