@Janine Sharma The decision to classify your onsite mobile home park property manager as a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor depends on the degree of control you have over their work.

With the fires in CA, you can expect materials and contractors to become even more expensive. 

Is it worth bringing in my contractor first to see how difficult it would be or should I call the gas and water companies first?

Looking to connect with any investors, realtors, property managers, contractors etc from Fort Wayne :) Feel free to comment or DM!

If you aren't a contractor or aren't getting rock-bottom pricing, what is the point?

If it’s verbal, they’ll need to document any prior communication or payment records to establish the relationship.If the PM is completely unresponsive, they may want to send a formal written demand for communication and payments via certified mail.

. - they just use whatever contractor is giving them the most free stuff at the time.  

You need at least one handyman on speed dial (preferably more), a good contractor for the bigger things, roofer, plumber, electrician, cleaner, etc etc.

Are there team members (RE agents, wholesalers, lenders, PMs, contractors, etc) you'd recommend?

The only think I hear about hers is it is difficult to have work performed on it by a contractor.
