@Lee Ripma Yes I am a real estate CPA for a national firm who is one of the leaders in real estate and have been dealing a lot with QOZ's.

I am the co-leader of the Rehabber's focus group, so if you have any questions let me know.  

The reason it is the leader is because of the market analysis and technical provided to agents.

Find an industry leader in your area and hop on his/her coat tails.I am a huge believer in Malcolm Gladwell's "10,000" hour principle. 

It's a follow the leader approach.

I've followed the BP podcasts religiously and read quite a number of books and everyone is saying along the lines of "don't buy retail" or "you make fortunes as a value-add investor".

For those researching Manufactured Housing Communities / Mobile Homes Parks, here is the investment thesis in a nutshell, from an industry leader and one of the worlds' most successful real estate investors. 

I've only been once but the leaders definitely know their stuff.

Matt, the leader, provides tremendous resources and knowledge and there are a lot of great investors to network with! 

In their early days, authors and book retailers complained that Amazon used loss leaders, selling books at a loss to attract traffic to the website, which would sometimes result in sales across other verticals.
