If you trust your CPA already, it may be better to let them continue to make tax decisions and instead have a bookkeeper that keeps all your financial ducks in a row on a monthly basis.

Anyway they have proposed a continuing education package that is 25k but me and my coworker can split it. just got into investing earlier this year and have only done one deal which was a flip and I profited a great sum from it.

although this is my first potential rental unit, I want to continue to keep buying next good deals that come along.

If you decide not to continue with it as a career, the cost of the class is still not time wasted; you'll be a ridiculously educated buyer, and can potentially have access to the MLS, like you said.

(which this could also help to save a down payment for the next property and continue with building equity and bringing in month income.)3.

I think this is achievable either buy continuing to collect 3-4 unit properties,  or in a trade-up to a larger property.

Are the tenants in any way related to the owner, i.e. how sure are you that the property would continue to get those rents if you had to turnover the tenant base?

Mobile homes are a depreciating asset, However at your purchase price it has depreciated the majority that it will assuming you continue to maintain it.
