Listen to the first 10-20 of each and you should have a solid foundation to ask questions and further build your knowledge.Great books: Well, actually there is only one recent book and I wouldn't call it "great" but it definitely gives you a pretty solid (but heavily biased) intro to MHPs.

You are referencing todays MLS homes as retail priced when actually they're already very heavily discounted due to the large supply.

All heavily described on the world wide web....good luck to ya

One of the big advertisers on this site is very heavily trying to sell my turn key investments that they have found and they are going to manage in Texas.The problem is that those properties are selling for less than 1% of their own rent estimation. e.g. a 3Bd2Ba in Forest Hill, TX for about $111k.

Both are heavily regulated. 

The BP community relies pretty heavily on this site.

I think what gets a lot of people so heavily interested in REI is the ability to replace their W2 which from my understanding would need cash flow. 

If your CPA is not heavily focused in RE, ask one that is.

If you plan to be heavily involved then hiring a third party manager will create all sorts of communication issues and probably not work for you.

Sounds like you are heavily banking on appreciation.
