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. 

Most of the main players do a good job at providing guidance & assistance in purchases.  

A big player is the Intel plant coming to central Ohio.

Is he a retired hockey player ?
