As an update, the current tenants were willing to create a "virtual tour" for us. they basically walked around the house and took video on a smart phone.

Although I am a newbie, I have read many many blog posts from the forums here on bigger pockets, I have read a couple of books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and I have also started to listen to other investors’ videos/podcasts on YouTube and attending some seminars.

The video is great.

@Barry PekinBarry,Why is it that on every video or post I've ever read they always compare to the most similar and recent sales to get ARV?

Hi, I'm very new to the real estate world and have some (very) basic questions about MH investing.I've been listening to a bunch of podcasts, watching tons of videos, reading books and articles, and am fortunate enough to have a friend who is a property management company CEO, but alas there are some more nitty-gritty questions that I have no clue as to what the answers are (there's so much information out there, it can be tough to sift through sometimes...).

I've found it helpful to send them a video of the empty apartment as well as furnished with the current (or past) tenant's things- it makes it easier to get a sense of the space. 

@Mashika Patrick there is a guy named Jerry Norton on youtube(May be on here) that has awesome videos on this.

In the video below I showcase what the calculations of 123 properties look like in a gentrified area such as Inglewood, CA.

They sent us the video, negotiated the terms over the phone then we sent an international wire transfer to the broker to hold the property.
