Donna,I buy/sell manufactured homes all over Colorado and I am familiar with the players in the Aurora market.

The buyers there tend to be real players because they have to have the cash to settle in 30 days.

It seems like there are a few key players with endless pockets out here, but they are only picking the low hanging fruit in my opinion. 

He's by far the most active BP member and experienced player from the Portland market. 

STRs were the flavor of the month over the last few years, so naturally they attract new players.

.- Listen to Podcast interviews (BP, other) on MF- Read and participate in BP Apt forums- Attend Conferences - any MF Apt conference or syndication to get exposure / network2) Networking- Attend local MF meetup groups and get to know the players that are doing what you want to be doing.  

Attention BP Members, last minute put together chat in the chat room www.biggerpockets.com/chat/ 3 major players here to answer any questions you may have.

This guy isn't (or shouldn't be) a player on your team.

Ive attended a few REIA meetups and met with a few of the players.

Well - you are still in vague land - can you add more info to the table for us.....Who are you in the transaction - the buyer - the seller - how is your wife involved - if she the listing agent - the buyer - the seller....let us know who the players are and what their roles are.In general your wife being a realtor shouldn't matter - but more info please.
