My job is our sole income and I get relocated for projects frequently so any property would have to be managed remotely (willing to invest anywhere in the states).Given the our situation above and our long term goals, I feel best next steps would be a heavy emphasis on networking and deal analysis.

From sourcing turnkey rental properties to finding long-term residents, and comprehensive property management, our expert team offers a full-service solution for a truly stress-free investing experience.

The agents I have worked with have not really been a source of off market deals but that doesn't mean that it can't happen.

I prefer to source all my deals off-market, which allows me to find properties with less competition and negotiate directly with motivated sellers.

A reasonably good source is AVVO.com by zip code and expertise.  

In terms of performance, I will be honest with you: it all comes down to your source of lists, the way you set up your campaigns, and last but not least, your templates.

I was determined and wanted something that I could sustain for the long term for my family's livelihood and control the effort I put in and the results I got from that effort.I specialize in sourcing properties for fix and flip investors nationwide (wholesaling, but with real-world experience and closed profitable deals for myself and my investor partners) with a roadmap to acquire rental properties as finances permit.A lot of our deals are currently coming through organic search as I have a background in substantial traffic generation through search engine optimization and organic means.

I think the real estate professional strategy works if it is your primary source of income.   

Instead I want to take advantage of the opportunity I have of living rent free to invest my time and money in STR's to hopefully build that portfolio up and eventually make that my main source of income (I understand that will take time).

Does anyone recommend knowledge sources on building a mobile home parks (websites, books, organizations, plans, etc..).
