Find someone at your local REIA who you click with and see about partnering with them, following them through a project, or offer to trade your labor/skills for them mentoring you. 

I am an investor friendly General Contractor in the Bryan / College Station, Texas area and would love to connect with investors for their next remodel / rehab project.

Throw in a dose of imposter syndrome and fatalism and you have a recipe for some mood swings right before a property is booked again.From a practical point, I would recommend great photos, a clearly defined target to whom you are advertising and understanding the best pricing of an area really well to ake sure you get booked in a timely fashion.From a more meta perspective, be aware that these listings don't typically get booked well in advance (families displaced by flood or fire, traveling nurses who need a new contract ASAP, and construction projects that realize they need a speciality engineer on-site RIGHT NOW don't book ahead). 

Would you find value in a dedicated software tool that centralizes and automates due diligence tasks, track task progress with due dates, and add team collaboration features so you can see who’s doing what at a glance—all your projects, due dates, and task statuses in one place.  

In tough economic times, people downsize, increasing the demand for affordable housing options like mobile homes.

Low entry, limited inventory on market, a quick 2-3 month project How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Something to be aware of.We've filled vacancies at our medium-term rental in Denver in January before, but had trouble in November and December, so I don't know if the winter is tough or if its simply the holiday season.I'd be more interested in buying the right place whenever it comes up.

Quote from @Austin Wolff: Getting started and house-hacking in the most unaffordable housing market in US history is very tough indeed.

Long term rentals are tough to cash flow unless I implement a co-living / rent-by-the-room strategy, which I've done before, but I'd prefer to not do again. 

In other words, when purchasing they don't really consider my projections for the enhanced (very enhanced) cash flow from the furnished operation (although they understand this business and I provide detailed financial information to them).
