Step into their shoes, listen to their concerns, and meet them where they’re at.

Looking to acquire something, either MFU, storage, campground, etc, so looking for insight. 

I'm currently with an investment brokerage but my end goal is to be an investor and feel the big shoes my parents are leaving me with! 

Parking lots, truck, parking lots, RV and trailer storage, storage units.Does anyone have good information on how to perform market analysis for these kinds of investments?

I have already thought about the point you mentioned about some prospective tenants not being fond of the fact that both floors aren't available but until I get back to AZ which could be awhile I need it for storage.  

I recently came across 1 acre asking for 314k in a very good residential and growing location, so the current owner has added 4 manufactured homes with 4 electrical meters, 4 septic tanks and only 1 water meter for all 4 homes, the homes are sitting on partial slab and partial pier & beam, he also added 2 storage sheds approx. 380sqft with the intention to make them ADUs they are still only the shell so I would have to get those ready to live in, so currently the 4 manufactured homes are being rented and bringing in 2800k a month, 3 of the homes are needing some TLC which could increment rents and possibly get me at 3600k a month, also being a 1ac lot this still leaves about 12,000sqft of raw land where you could build etc.So that is on the good side now the things I did not like so much, the lay out is poorly executed to where it makes it looked crammed up and not professional but it could be fixed.Another is that in reality there is only 4 livable units so that qualifies under a conventional loan but since they're are 6 units on the property the banks are wanting to take it as a commercial so we would have to move out the 2 storage sheds out in order to close as conventional.Another concern, technically you are only allowed to have one manufactured house or single wide in your property according to what I know but I know it could change according to zoning which I will investigate, so my question is has all this been accounted for and if so how can I verify it so it wont leave me in a bind further down the road, I currently asked my agent for the appraisal of the property to see if that might verify.Any recommendations?

If I were in your and/or your mother-in-laws shoes, I would go to a local bank and use the free and clear house to secure a $150K+ line of credit. 

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $275,000About this homeBeautiful 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom condo in the convenient location of Rowland Heights, close to bus stop, supermarket, schools, shopping centers etc. newer counter top in kitchen and bathroom. 2 parking spaces and storage room.

Off-Market: I was working for a storage facility and the owner needed help removing his stuff because he was moving How did you finance this deal?

That seems low with the 5 units and storage you mentioned unless they are 1 bed units.
