I have been learning how the process works and there are a lot of resources for how to interview a sponsor and review the deal, but how do you initially access the deals to review?

Paid-in-full real estate almost always results in sub-optimal returns.Do this math. 

Check out Every Landlord's Legal Guide by NOLO.

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

Hi Dean - we had access to a DSCR product until a couple weeks ago - it's currently paused, per my conversation with one of the loan brokers I work with. 

With land investing/flipping becoming more democratized/accessible  (so many landed courses, tools, resources etc), current prices/RE trends etc, is it still worth getting into land investing/flipping for a brand new RE investor ?

Unless the land is super valuable, probably not collateral for the mobile homes. 

For this reason, I prefer to plan renovations when a long-term tenant moves out.

I need help financing this deal.
