One of my roles was to develop relationships with Private Equity and Institutional Investors.

I'd love to connect.If you're looking to build relationships with investors in your market, I'd encourage you to attend local meet ups in person and meet other investors face to face.

To Andrew's point, local lenders and agents are BEST, as they know the market, how RE is practiced in real life in that area, and have a personal relationship with agents and appraisers to benefit the transaction on either side.

Being inexperienced means that the requirements will be more strict, at least until you build a relationship with a lender, and then you will be able to get more, close faster, and send less paperwork. 

Some park owners might even call you as the older mobile homes come available- if you establish relationships with them.Hope that helps!  

It may be that you need to cultivate a relationship with an excellent real estate agent (if you are investing in a different city). 

Find like properties and look at their calendars to get a sense for nightly rates and occupancy.Keep in mind that cleaning fees are a pass through cost to the guest.Other costs like taxes, insurance, and bills you can estimate ranges with some level of confidence if you ask around or build relationships with agents/investors

I've only ever used personal relationships to find investors but I'm very curious to find out if any of you have found success using a company like Connected Investors.

You can network with other investors and build business relationships with the re investors in your market.
