It can be as simple as financial freedom but do try and make it something that motivates you.I've been researching how to be a successful RE agent and I've concluded that I'll be making prospecting a game.

But if I wanted to take a SFH and simply turn it into an apartment, I can’t necessarily do that.  

I have FHA clients getting positive current CoC return on fourplexes once they move out of the 4th unit, but I think it's simply impossible with anything < 4 units.However, your long term CoC return on sale could be through the roof since we are experiencing +18% year over year appreciation. 

My question is: if the number look good-  is it worthwhile to pursue this and look at it more as a standard multi family investment to gain experience into the MHP Asset class, or to simply stay away from park owned units? 

I read the rise and fall of the Third Reich from the first page to the last.. that was a heavy lift To be fair I did read the books of the day back in my 20s  Think and Grow rich  Dennis Wately  Zig Ziegler Robert SChuler  etc.many of the books you mentioned would just be to basic on concept for me personally so not worth the time simply from myexperience living the real estate lifestyle.   

If this is an off market deal however and you're already going to be working with a wholesaler (who had the original assignable contract you're simply, using the realtor to help facilitate- which can make sense to do if you've never done before to protect EMD, etc. ) you're already paying the wholesaler as it's built into the asking price. 

My PM just hired a contractor to make these repairs and sent me an invoice that simply says "Upgrades City and HI punch list completions”.

Simply filing the state records isn’t enough. 

@Dadrion Tuircuit,  That simply means that the seller will be performing a 1031 exchange. 

If so I would simply write an addendum to the lease and have all parties sign
