This particular building was brought to my attention from my realtor who has a relationship with an investor open to selling some of his properties. 

At interest rates at historic lows.

Make relationships with brokers and they can help you find MHPs if you give them your preferences.

Typically a contractor or architect who has done several projects in a town has a relationship or rapport with the plan reviewers and building official and can reason with them to some extent.5. 

As a Sponsor, I won’t even come close to being able to quit my W-2 job with this deal, but my partner and I are planting seeds with our investors and developing a great relationship that will prompt growth in our company to scale and take our talents to the next level.

I haven't done anything with NPN yet, because I know there is a lot to learn and a lot of people you need to get to know to find the good deals like relationships with banks and credit unions etc... but we will see how things play out.

I think it's cooled a bit too but historically August is always slow due to schools opening.

However historically the real estate cycle lasts 18 years.  

My reasoning is based on average historical total profits (cash flow+equity gains) LA was #1 in the nation since 2000.

Not only will it give you the comps, but you can get historicals on your subject property if it was ever listed previously on the MLS.
