Typically speaking, a triplex or 4plex will show a better return in this area and you will carry less risk through ownership of a 3-4plex because you can better coordinate lease structure to ensure timing works in your favor.

Ensuring you can build a board on the property is a tedious job that I suggest you don't neglect. 

I explained what my resolution was in order to ensure all of the sellers concessions are used.

Are there any more efficient ways to find these people?

Long-term, buy & hold is a great strategy - I've always been a firm believer that you have the upper hand with these properties in the investment field because you have the advantage of being first in an area then being able to wait for appreciation for whenever you want to sell "when the time is right".Often times, these rental properties also don't involve the full scale upgrades (less money out-right) that you would need in a traditional fix-&-flip in order to hit projected ARV's.The one draw-back here is out-sourcing your rentals to a property management company - which finding the right one for the right price can take some time to vet - or else managing the property yourself, in which case you will need to start building relationships with contractors to ensure proper repairs are being done and the needs of your tenants are being met.You can do buy & holds out of state easily, too, just find the right market that is land-lord friendly (for example, mid-west: Indiana), and I think its fair to say you could do well long-term with the right properties!

After my text this morning, My tenant texted back: 'I am very sensitive to molds and have not been feeling well the last couple of days so please do  as I am sure you would ensure inspection is thorough for that and the bedroom smelled very musty when I got home from work last night'.

First ensure that you and your team have the tools to fix the mobile to a livable condition.

You want to be using Board drafted purchase agreements (if possible) which ensures there are no sketchy clauses involved.

To be as efficient as possible, I'll schedule calls for my lunch hour or go to the gym to PT for a call....I also take the metro (subway) into the pentagon each day. 

My goal in today’s market is to ensure I never have to liquidate, that way I can just hold through a downturn and still cash flow if needed and wait to sell in the next expansion.
