I've read a lot about the Lonnie Deals and that has kind of been the strategy I have planned to execute.However, I stumbled upon a guy on Craig's List who wants to lease his 6.2 acre mobile home park.

Usually it is best to start a conversation, asking questions about what their stumbling block to leaving is.  

I've stumbled across a few townhomes in the city that I think would be good investments, but I'm hesitant because I'm not sure if townhomes tend to rent easily in the area or not.

However, after doing some research, I began to stumble upon other interesting strategies -- for example, I came across a discussion in which somebody was renting out space in their home to a group of people that wanted to use the space for mining cryptocurrencies.

I just stumbled on this old thread and figured I'd come back with some details. 

There's only so much one person can do in a day and there's only so much 5 can do without stumbling over each other. 

Sitting down with an attorney for an hour now will be money well-spent, and will cost you far less than trying to clean up the mess you could inadvertently create if you just stumble forward blindly and get something wrong. 

I somewhat stumbled into being a landlord by deciding to rent out my previous house as opposed to selling it.

hi kimi. i have yet to figure out a way to find these releases of liens other than by pure chance. the two houses i have bought this way i found the house on my own, did the research, just looking for the owners and stumbled upon the release of lien. a pure " chance" sort of thing. the best advice i can offer you is to look around for distressed properties. ask the neighbors what the deal was. if they say the house was a foreclosure house and the physical looks of the house show that the house is not being cared for, you may have a " dropped" house. please email me or contact me if you need any further help. 

The single biggest stumbling block I came across was the absurdly low appraisals derailing the deal.
