You've got to figure out what your goals are and then put the action and effort behind it. 

Look deeply at the numbers, expenses as an educational effort. 

Often times we have the idea that we can just jump in and win, and as good as it sounds, short-term success and luck may not be good enough for the long haul.Having the right mindset is knowing the inner you, what are your strengths, your weaknesses, and your ability to persevere until the end.Skillset is a must, knowing it will take hard work, and being an asset and not a liability, all the which will take time and consistent effort to continuously move the needle closer to our desired goals.Having goals set, a planer made, getting the right knowledge, and following the course until it is complete.There and many distractions as well as many excuses, all of which must be overcome.From one student to another, stay vigilant, and consistent, and never quit.See the end from the beginning and it shall come to pass.Back to the books, and to our success, blessings, and prosperity.One Building Block At A Time!

@Rich Ferradino OMG tnx yes.  0.7.FWIW if one is dead set at calculating the value of a park with park owned then:NOI = lots x $ave home rent x 0.4 (60% expense ratio) = NOIValue = NOI/0.1 (parked owned home parks are much more effort to manage so should trade at 11 or 12 cap, but this is a tough sell).Then Value = value from above + $nominal value of all homes, use $3k x homesFind value of the typical home in the park from craigslist etc.
