I have been trying to compile a list of mobile home parks in my target area that meet my criteria for purchase.

For perspective, I recently compiled a partial list of flips, just those from the MLS, in the Killeen area.  

Austin, first, congrats on being at this crossroads. i have so many colleagues/friends that cant get to this point....even when i spell it out. either way you go, you will do great with that dedication of time.now, onto my thoughts. i personally say BRRR is the only way to go due to what you are trying to do. i was at this same crossroads about a year ago. i couldnt figure out how i could add the units i needed to add with the "extra" income/savings i compiled. so what i did was run 2 flips in order to generate cash. i did straight flip, not brrrr. then i took that money, along with savings to have my cash egg that allows me to buy, rehab and rent. then i get my cash back through refi (conventional and private)results?

I have been compiling a list from craigslist of the rental properties in my Chattanooga zipcode. 156 SFH propeties.

I have compiled a list of books - Real Estate related as well as Business/Self-Improvement, recommended by various guests on the BP podcasts.

BP has compiled a list for your review.

Even though info is free like you said, they do a good job in compiling info and auction dates/format links to help keep you organized.  

Since you'll be doing some research to compile a list of people to call, this could be an extra layer of long-term team & relationship building, if you will be hiring professional property management for your portfolio.I chose this model when I was seeking these members for my team and have loved the trustworthy relationships that have been built from it.

Take a look at some information that I have compiled about the quality of Cleveland neighborhood's HERE

I want to compile a list of places to find the money.
