Can any of you recommend books that you have read that were helpful in gaining perspective on the property management industry as a whole as well as "best practices" for setting up systems and processes for offering property management to investors?

Thanks in advance!

This states the home has been approved and available to be a rental.And some of these must be applied for every time a tenant moves.So check your state laws.There are Landlord Tenant Laws, Building Codes, and laws that are not laws at all but based on a Judge’s opinion of whether or not a tenant did wrong or not.For instance, normal wear and tear.Judges have various opinions on what they deem normal wear and tear.This is an Industry of thinking skills.This is an industry of holding your temper and implementing your lease agreement no matter what.You need to think like a Judge.You need to think reasonably.You need to be a good listener.You need to be in control.Once you buy a house you need to know how to keep that house and how to keep your tenants long term.You need to know how to be all things in order to keep your tenants happy, yet make them know the rules of landlording and how to be good tenants.I always say that one is only as good as the tools they have.You could be the greatest landlord in the world in mind and action, but if you don’t have the equipment, or the education, or the money to invest in the proper tools to make you successful, then you will never make it in this business.It takes my breath away to read the stuff on here by new investors.And I understand that how can they know what they do not know?

Thanks in advance!

Also I would love to know what contract/contracts can be used to conduct such business.Thanks in advance.

I'm aware I'll  loose the economies of scale a proper MHP would have, but would this idea be cost prohibitive, or potentially a good stepping stone to one day being able to graduate to a real MHP while gaining local industry knowledge & contacts? 

Thank you in advance!

Thanks in advance!

If so, it is very possible he/she does not fully understand the industry jargon.
