you just have to get dirty, no other way about it. videos and manuals are great, but when you have to level a kitchen cabinet to butt up to the corner cabinet and trace the toe kick to match up, that's just experience (trial and error).i have learned a lot from the HD guys. most of them are not useful, but there are guys that know a lot. tools are great and you need them, but then you have to ask yourself if you want to spend the time to learn and do the work yourself or spend the time to find a good deal.

Learning a lot through trial-and-error, and of course the BP site!

Should I start with a small MF and learn the ropes through trial and error and ofcourse support via the BP community, or partner with a lead investor and learn from their experiences?

However, each state has it's own variation, and there are exceptions built into each state's laws.

Expect to see some variation in loan amortizations (e.g. 15 year) and calls (baloons of 3, 5, 7 etc.) and maybe ARMs, but commercial lenders like to limit longer term loan spread risk... so unlikely this has a true 20 term.

There are plenty of techniques regarding the mobile home industry, however most will centralize on doing a "Lonnie" deal or a variation thereof.

Yes, you can point to rents per square foot in office or retail space as a metric for desirability of location, but then you’re subject to variations in class A, Class B, class C buildings etc.

Looks like its going to take some trial and error to get there.

It's more of a process, trial and error.

I personally hate driving for dollars and am working on other ways to create a good sellers list.Once you get a solid mailing list, you'll need to hit these sellers multiple times with different variations of marketing... a yellow letter one week, a post card the next, and maybe a door hanger next.
