I have looked at SK so understand the market there.

I typically use regional banks to fund my deals but my 2 go-to banks have either slowed or fully stopped investment loans so recently I've connected with several online brokers but all came from ads or they reached out to me vs personal recommendations and intros so I have concerns. 

He had some rentals but I was never interested until my wife and I were looking at Zillow and said F it, lets buy and rent a townhouse. 

Not sure where your STR is located, but you might want to look into local STR management companies that also offer staging services.

This post is exactly what I was looking for! 

I am looking at an opportunity to invest in my first MHP with an experienced investor.

I am just getting started and only have a couple units at the moment.

look at other STR data in the area and do similar style to do your best to recreate similar results 

It can be complicated at times, but breaking the overall process down in to smaller pieces and taking them on one at time definitely simplifies the process.
