Hi Ryan,

There may be a national MHP association that could give you a ballpark national figure. Belinda answered your next 2 questions perfectly.

When it comes to software, I have heard of 2-3 different paid packages and packages that people piece together (i.e. Google Docs, with Dropbox and a Tasklist, etc). I have yet to hear of a piece of software that does nearly everything an hold investor looks for.

Thank you @Joshua Dorkin

My year will be made when I can browse the forum better on my android.

Feedly works great for the blog posts and Podcast addict is perfect for the podcast but I've got nothing for the forum!

Thank you for your service Jay.

Welcome to BP Nation and best of luck sir.

Welcome Jake! As you can see, Sacramento has a great investment community out there. I have met very few of them but - as i'm sure you know - the Sacramento keyword doesn't let your inbox go very empty.

Hi all whom may be monitoring this topic, Al's got an updated thread here:

http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/517/topics/107922-sacramento-meetup---save-the-date?page=1#p723089

Sounds great Al and thanks for continuing to spear head. Please reach out if I can help.

Hope there is time to mix in a little fun while in New Mexico Al!

I'd like to speak to John's character as well.

I've been a member for almost a year now and was playing the J.O.T Game (Jack of all Trades) like Jonathan. I got exposed to MH and MHP after discovering BP. Once I got interested in MH, I did a search on the blog for MH posts and John was all over them.

I looked him up and emailed him out of the blue. Immediately John was kind, forth coming and provided a great amount of guidance for the questions I had for him. I've been around a few Guru courses and it would insult John to put him anywhere near that title.

Like I said, never bought the course but it is on my continuing education list when I need to simply because of John himself.

First goal is buy my first RE investment - Mobile Home Park. Through BP, I've gained the confidence to talk with Private Money Investors who are considering coming in on a deal. Having that confidence in the knowledge I have gained through conversations, reading, book recommendations and BP Podcast was instrumental.

Shout out to some great people that were amazing enough to return an email from someone they had never known.

@Joe Bertolino for my very first colleague requests and letting me know this community is the best ever.

@John Fedro for the many emails conversations and a great introduction that is key to my 2014 success.

@Ryan Lundquist for taking time to meet with a local guy over a cup of coffee and ignite some inspiration.

@Aaron Norris for an amazing Sacramento event!

@Al Williamson for organizing a local BP Meetup. My apologies to Joe B., you and fellow BP'ers for not checking my emails better. Can't wait for the next one!

@Ali Boone for introducing me to turn-key investments and helping me add it to my long term strategy.

EDIT: Anyone else having issues with "@" commands in Google Chrome? If so, please PM me so it doesn't hijack Karen's amazing thread!

Hi All,

I've got my eye on 2-3 smaller parks (15-25 units) and wondering how you evaluate the local economy. What metrics do you look for?

I understand that unemployment is a major one and understanding what industry employees the workforce in your target area bur what are the metrics used during your "litmus test" of an area prior to going to work on getting it under contract?

I already plan on doing the CraigsList test as well and see how that goes.

Thank you everyone!

Great post @Daniel Warren and I hope for the best. Please keep up informed on your progress if you could - topic monitored to follow your story.
