All you're talking about doing now is accessing equity by borrowing secured by that equity. 

I don’t have any MHP under my belt but I am definitely interested in the space and am learning everything I can.

Also Jeffrey, I like the idea of commercial property, as my wife is talking about opening up her own practice and will need office space.

I agree with you working together is an amazing thing, it gives you access to more capital and in essence the ability to find and secure more deals.

Is there some other way to access tax information?

It is in fact very easy and profitable if you are smart about it and manage risk well.My advice is to start off looking for deals for a wholesaler so you have access to their expertise and analysis.

The other options are find someone with access to the MLS as tax records can be pulled through there or you can sign up for a Property Radar account (they offer a free trial).

The most important thing is access to real comps.
