I obviously can't comment on yours specifically.Go to the local REIA events, get in specifically with the folks doing the syndication thing.

This will help you close deals faster.Focus on marketing and lead generation to find motivated sellers—direct mail, driving for dollars, and online marketing all work well here.Know your numbers—being able to accurately assess the value of properties and make solid offers is key.Network with other investors and professionals—attend local REI meetups, connect with title companies, and build relationships with hard money lenders.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat more or exchange ideas!

@Steve Meyers I’ve been running this with some success with a local cincinnati agent on 2+ units and nationally with a commercial broker for shopping centers.

They were told by a friend to get a "local" realtor who then proceed to tell my wife/realtor how she showed her clients our property (lie) and cluster up the process as the office admin did all the real work. 

Try networking locally with HML's who know the market. 

Once you have ran through about 3 months or so of this and penciled out 50-100 deals for fun, I would talk to a local agent and start the process of looking.

I know more about Phoenix living locally but I hear good things about NC especially from east coast investors.

Maintenance can also be a factor—while newer homes may require minimal upkeep, older units might need more frequent repairs, particularly for things like plumbing or HVAC systems.Some things to pay close attention to:Zoning and Permits: Check local zoning laws and permit requirements to ensure you’re allowed to place a mobile home on your land and rent it out.

Hi Taylor, I'm a local, direct lender here in Austin.
