Of course there are some market outliers, Austin, Nashville, SD are nose diving but even at certain levels(well above conservative underwriting) those get scooped up.

@Tajanaye Taylor Long time, no see!

I am much better being there to use my nose and to see where I might get the smells from, but I have an idea. 

If it is a home already in the MHP - you are not getting rent on it anyway, so providing free lot rents to get it repaired and sold is no skin off of your nose.

If you buy the right deals you leave little to no seed capital in the previous deal.

No. See

or if you ever had a runny nose and heard of the coronavirus?

Best to develop a nose for it and accept it as part of the business.

Our mortgage broker "forgot" to mention closing cost (our bad for not doing thorough enough investigating and researh, AND now trust is a bit fractured) - I'm wondering (I've gotten 5 calls this morning from mortgage companies) should I have shopped around more? 

Deals can be found anywhere at any time, so if you just stick your nose to the ground, build the relationships you need to have, and constantly hunt, you'll eventually find the deal you've been looking for and start building wealth.
