While I currently live outside Portland, OR, I plan to begin investing in Tennessee.

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

You have kids - do a 529 plan and max it out You will retire one day - max out your 401k yearly, IRA, Roth IRA (or backdoor to Roth IRA)You will have health expenses one day - max out your HSA From here I'd invest in Real Estate.

I want to have a game plan in action prior to reaching out to lenders. 

There's other items such as this where it may be helpful to talk to a CPA/EA for a little tax planning, especially since you'll likely get caught up in the passive activity loss limitations if taking bonus on a single rental property as I often see.It's also useful to mention that even if you do the cost seg study (I'm assuming you're doing one to be talking about this), you'll still benefit from accelerated depreciation in the form of shorter useful lives on the assets where you received bonus from.

We plan to renovate it ourselves and turn it into a 1200sq ft 2/1 to STR.

I’m based in Utah and plan to invest in long-term rentals in UT, OK, and/or TX.

That’s a helpful perspective as I plan out my projects.Thanks again for sharing your insights!
