@Matthew Irish-Jones He plans on doing some real estate on the side in Manhattan. 

Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: @Ben Spader that’s brutal.

I recently left PricewaterhouseCoopers where I worked in the Banking & Capital Markets group, specializing on Broker Dealers. 

The Monthly Bigger Pockets meetup is this Wed, 7p at Johnny's Irish Pub.

Con - I would never need this as an investor since I do deals based on financial performance and / or comparable sales, then work my way backwards to an offer price.Pro - a (used) mobile home dealer can use NADA as a benchmark for credibility establishing home prices.I guess the pros and cons will depend on what you plan to do with it.

I've spoken to a few dealers in the area, but I'd like to hear if anyone has a referral. 

Unfortunately for them, I'm from Irish heritage and my family is from Boston.  

There are all kinds of ways you could buy or control these gems, different techniques could be applied to facilitate transactions, but unless you understand the product you'll fail at being a successful dealer because you won't understand why they are valuable or why there is a demand or why the market acts as it does. 

All Mexicans are rapists or drug dealers.

Transparency for a wholesale dealer can actually work in their favor.
