I'm looking at buying one of these packages from the Mobilehomeparkstore.com as they were recommended to me by a friend who owns several successful parks.
What do you think about me getting it as I'm just getting started on this journey.

Save your money - read Managing a MHP by Steven G. Pappas. Was $35 +$4 shipping. If looking for a MHP management course - check out the one by Ray Alcorn first. Check out the one by George Allen out of Indiana second. His course awards the Certified Manufactured Home Manager designation (MHM).

    What do you want out of the course once it's completed and you are back at home? What is it you don't have that you want from the investment in the course?

    Start by reading everything here first, then the 10/20 Book by Frank & Dave. But first, what are your goals? Do you want to own a park? Do you want to wholesale individual homes? own individual homes?

    Take an inventory or your resources: time, money, credit, then write down your goals and work backwards from there. If you have no money or credit then start wholesaling. If you've got the time and money then immediately sign up for the Mobile Home Park Investors Bootcamp and start learning and networking. If you want to learn about buying/selling individual homes then look up John Fedro and his resources and training.

    Good luck!

    @Nikko Lawson

    Check out the Mobile Home Forum here, read everything.

    On the web page you listed there is a click for a number of articles read all.

    I read Lonnie Scruggs Deals on Wheels book was excellent also $30-40 if IO remember.

    Perhaps your buddy would let you check out his copy before you commit.

    Good luck
