If your likely price point is less than 1MM than banks are going to be the best players, but they can also have high barriers to entry with regards to liquidity/net worth and who they'll lend to.

NASB is the lender we have found the best terms with in our region (some are just regional non-recourse lenders that may be player in your area but not mine.)Dan Dietz

For our home we purchased fun activities that didn't take up space like board games, an XBOX (can be used as a dvd player), and an old school Nintendo Entertainment System.

Quote from @Jwana Player: It's 1.

players in the market there. 

Flawless audio and video, presentations on time and orderly, catered food so you don't scramble to find something to eat etc.Vendors: BVery good turnout for servicers and IRA custodians, but many key players missing (BPOs, property preservation, doc custodian etc).

This industry, having shrunk and consolidated with lots of players exiting in the last decade, is ripe for a radical market disruption: "Since mid-1999, the manufactured housing industry has experienced a prolonged and significant downturn...."

It's vitally important to know who you are working with, and have the history of the players involved.  

I am a person who is driven by competition (I was a college baseball player until I hurt my arm two years ago) and as I keep doing more and more research about real estate investing I can tell this is the industry I needed to learn as much as I could about.

Buildium, Property Ware, and Appfolio are the "Big Three" players in this space, and they are very sticky - Meaning once you invest the time and energy into setting up a system, you are very unlikely to change over to another one.
