There is a world of knowledge only gleaned from investing. 

My current work also has me in close contact with a lot of developers and property managers in NYC so I've been able to glean a lot of wisdom that way.

Current rents: you can glean this information through online sources as well as old-school searching (walk-ins, calling the buildings)Talk to local brokers to get the inside scoopMarket analysisCheck to see if building is in a flood plainYou can ask for, but these items are usually provided after signing a contract: Leases for lease auditing against bank statements, tax returns and leases (usually not provided before a contract has been signed).Tenant payment historyViolations, delinquenciesLease addendum and/or other agreementsTax ReturnsBank StatementsUtility billsCan RUBS be implemented (some municipalities may not allow it)Service contractsReserve fundsEnvironmental assessmentEmployee recordsStructural issues including foundationEmployee historyOther value-add features that can be added include:Trash valetCar portsStorageDog parksTo be honest, a similar level of due diligence is required across multifamily and manufactured housing (mobile home parks).Best of luck!

Brand new to BP, absorbing all of the knowledge that I can reasonably glean from internet and books.

I’ve been stocking you for a while now, gleaning as much wisdom from these forums as I can.

I tried searching through the forums before posting, but did not find any recent information that I could glean off.

@Deb Perisian  I don't have any manufactured housing, but if I did, I'd be gleaning information at your feet. 

Some great information to be gleaned and some awesome connections as well.

What I don't get is that people, after reading less than 10,000 words on a person's 96 year-long life, somehow glean enough information to questions her decisions and throw around phrases like "more like a hoarder of money than an investor and I am not impressed" and "total lack of caring for family".No talk about her work ethic, loyalty, selflessness, wiliness to learn, discipline?

Apologies if it seems naive - but I am hoping to glean some practical info. from you people living and breathing this side of the business.
