My first job was a really crappy one outside of real estate, my second one I got very fortunate in having the chance to work as a property manager at 18 (ended up quitting that job because of the company's culture,) my third job was as a subcontractor for a developer who flipped old manufacturing buildings into apartments, and my current position is as an analyst/broker of self storage facilities for a company that's been in the business for 20+ years.

Now that you make me think of it, since RE became my main hustle, I guess my previous main hustle of beauty manufacturing consulting is now my side hustle…also considering breaking into some contract project management work as of recent.

Cabinets, same thing, I was direct with manufacturer.

Like Chatt has a huge outdoor scene, so we have insane eco tourism, we also have the fastest internet in the country so that brings tech folks to us, and we have an influx of manufacturing in the last decade and some change.

The town used to be an old industrial manufacturing place, just like most of Upstate, NY.

For example, I specialize in just a few industries (RE being the bulk of my clients), but I don't enjoy cost accounting, or dealing with high turnover inventory, so I don't have any retail/ecommerce or manufacturing clients.

I have a land in WV that I was looking to do something like this and they only allowed manufactured homes due to the HOA covenants.

So one helpful strategy is to find a CPA with substantial experience in a particular field (e.g. real-estate investing, construction, manufacturing, etc.) that you are or want to get involved in. 

Also, if you are selling a manufactured home, the FHA requires the seller to pay for tie-downs ($600-$1000).
