Eddie I'm in a similar position as you with the same questions. 

My questions are what books or other resources would you recommend to someone just getting started and also what is the best path to get started on in real estate for someone in my position?

You need to attack each positive reply you get at each stage of the funnel. 

We try to go slow on purpose so we can listen more and give solid feedback.  

Financially, I’m not in a position where I need to rent it out immediately—I can afford to wait a bit if needed.This is my first time as a landlord, and I was lucky with my first tenant, who was fantastic.

Do you know what Raleigh's position would be on the placement of a MH (taking away the wheels)?

I think you have a good plan, BRRRR is still a great route in the current market, and especially for the states you are already in - both Indiana and Georgia are very well positioned for BRRRR deals in my view / experience

Any feedback is welcome.
