Every company will have vacancy and the occasional bad tenant, these risks are unavoidable (not every nightmare tenant is a felon with bad credit, after all), so it's important to take a broad view of user experience and ask about what the company does to minimize the risks where they can.Pay attention to language.

I also work with local wholesalers and come across the occasional multi-family deal. 

The 11 units are the maximum possible on the propertythe tenants have always paid their own utilitiesThe units are all city water and sewerRegular upkeep is that the park occasionally gets new gravels and someone is in place to cut the grass for $75 every 2 weeks and I pay for two street lampsThe property taxes in 2018 were $900The property without the 11 units appraised at $110,000 The trailers themselves aren’t worth a great deal of money I’m sure but the way I’m looking at it I’m buying the whole park is basically buying myself income I expect after taxes and expenses to net at least $2000 a month, does this sound like a winning project?

BTW--i see an occasional GREAT deal.

It would be working on rehabs, helping with occasional repairs, etc.

craigslist is filled with tons of agent ads, overpriced owner properties and aspiring wholesalers trying to get you on their buyers list .It is also sprinkled with some overseas scams and an occasional deal might be found.

Then I have to try to find out if it's multi-tenant which is sometimes impossible and involves a bunch of Google searching with the address to see if multiple suite numbers show up or tenant names appear in Yelp, and occasionally finding it on the Property Tax website. 

I want to learn as much about real estate as possible and I am seeking someone that could provide tips/guidance or just someone to chat with occasionally.

Get to know these guys...https://www.pinefinancialgroup.com/They are hard money lenders from Denver but the founder got started doing lease options and occasionally gives classes about them.

We put the furniture back each cleaning, they only move end tables and sofa and love seat, and occasionally the wicker stuff in the sunroom and on the patio.
