I think the Equator Platform is the way to go.I actually have first hand experience with that.Ray.

With that in mind, I'm currently focused on Mobile Home Parks, Self-Storage, and Retail Strip Centers with anchor tenants that do well during downturns (ie. grocery stores, dollar stores, etc).If you don't pay attention to the cycle then you can really get caught off guard.

One big problem I am seeing here, which I see as very commonplace by the way because conventional insurance agents don't know better, is a lot of people co-mingling personal exposures with business or commercial exposures.Here is a post I did on another social media platform that will hopefully help. 

I use Craig's List and Linkedin and get many cash buyers off both platforms.

For some reason they also won't work from my mobile devices or tablets although I'm not sure if other people have that problem.  

I can't get an old mobile in a park for that price.  

I've been looking into mobile home investing around Kalamazoo, MI and am having trouble finding parks that will allow investors to work in their parks.

I recently became the head of marketing at PeerRealty, a Chicago-based real estate equity crowdfunding platform.  

I'm trying to insure a mobile home we're rehabbing and will be ready to rent out in about a month, and my insurance lady is telling me that insurance for it will be $300/ yr for $30K in coverage (their max) which is fine with me, but then she says the insurance co will want to see a copy of the lease.

That, in my opinion, is what makes BP valuable (at least to me)...the networking of the educated and experienced individuals on the platform.
