Regardless of your field, I encourage you to put on your audience's hat when building a plan or presentation to make sure their action items are clear, else you'll lose their attention.

This entails building personal/working relationships with people successful in the field.

Nick, consider contacting @Amanda Han, she is based in SoCal, an expert in the field and active member of BiggerPockets community.

Like any other profession, the more knowledgeable you become about your field, the more likely it is that you can make informed decisions that can boost your investments.6.

We decided that enough was enough and left the field completely.  

I've found that most networking happens in award ceremonies and other bigger forums hosted by companies in the field - for example TheRealDeal real estate forum happening in May. 

Have you looking into the Navarre Beach or Panama City Beach Market: 1 Location: Located on the Gulf of Mexico, offering beautiful beaches and crystal clear water. 2 Lifestyle: Navarre Beach is known for its laid-back, beachy lifestyle, making it a popular destination for vacationers and retirees. 3 Investment potential: Property in Navarre Beach can be a good investment since there is tons of new construction occuring on the beach and inland. 4 Community: Navarre Beach has a strong sense of community, school systems with many local events and activities throughout the year. 5 Natural beauty: Navarre Beach offers a variety of natural beauty, from the beaches to the state parks and nature preserves. 6 Quieter: Navarre beach is a quieter alternative to the busier beaches of Pensacola and Destin, but still close enough to enjoy the activities and amenities of those areas. 7 Military friendly: Navarre beach is home to Hurlburt Field Air Force Base, making it a popular destination for military families and veterans. 8 Affordable: Navarre beach offer a more affordable option compared to other coastal towns in Florida, making it accessible for first time buyers or retirees.Rentals, appreciation and gentrification is happening in these areas with new price point emerging due to infrastructure being built out. 

Connecting with other investors is a fantastic way to learn and grow in this field.

Especially seeing as it probably has utilities to it, unless the mobile home is just sitting in a field.

I've been in the same career field for over 16 years.
