I think that in this business that no matter what area you are practicing, our professional integrity, consideration, putting in the work to make sure as much as possible, you do your part and help make the deal good, you build a good reputation.

If your reputation means anything I'd suggest you not get on the wholesaling circus train of clowns.

The creation of the CFPB lit a lot of fires under other regulators - state and federal and the intertwining complications between retailing manufactured homes and lending on manufactured homes suddenly emerged from under the radar to being in everyone's gunsights.There are ways for small operators to still function, but not without cost, and not without complication.

If it is South or Southeast, it is in the manufacturing corridor and there may be people who will want to work with you, for a long term hold.

I would look at a few companies you like, based on location, reputation, splits and whatever else is important to you.
