I informed the owner that he might want to contact the courts as he was still scheduled for auction next wed.

You are trying to identify and utilize hussles, your network, and specialized knowledge to your strategic advantage to add value to the transaction, earn your discount, and beat out your competition ... this is a theme that I find repeats itself often in investments and life.

There are also several blog articles on tenant screening, which is hugely important, and Brandon Turner's Ultimate Guide to Tenant Screening is chock-full of great advice.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/27...As you'll see, the theme of automation (a la E-myth and 4Hour Work Week philosophies) plays a large role in this site.

Great advice, most frequent themes seem to be:No money, "Analysis paralysis," Unclear Investment Strategy, and "I'm in the wrong market" Feel free to diagnose (me) but I don't think I'm worried about choosing the investment strategy, being in the wrong market, lack of funds, or even "analysis paralysis"  First, I love the advice that the "first few deals are the learning curve and not the home run" @Kai Kopsch Application and practice, over theory and research.

Double check your state & county laws...I do know in my area, there is a 10-unit minimum threshold that puts it into the MHP class. 6 units may end up in a different class, zone, etc.Myself, IF the area is conducive to it, i would buy it, rehab them all with different themes (like swampland, big easy, etc.) and create a cool Air Bnb rental "compound", where could get $50-$100 a night income per unit.
