@William Stewart Try checking around with some local mobile home dealerships or your manufactured housing association.

Then I drive by the house and there’s an investor company (something like “we buy run down house”) sign in the yard with a phone number, so I called it.

@James Sebastian your response is pretty well thought out already, my only recommendation is to include a personal invitation for them to contact you directly by phone, email, U.S.mail, or thru your attorney if they prefer. 

Sure there are stories of investors wholsaling deals on their third door knock or phone call, but the reality is those a very rare.

All of our competition is using cell phone pictures so we have that advantage.

I  ask questions over the phone ,then have them do a back ground if they look like a winner based on a verbal general info .I will do keep one more ready  but not filling out a whole app with personal info .I guess some people harvest money from apps  double triple the cost ?

which is about 5.5 percent on my equitysecond one is a old single wide mobile home that I get about $500/month rent after expenses;  the underlying land is now worth about $175,000;  which is total equity for me, since it is paid off;  so that would be about 3.5 percent on my equityproperties right beside each other in a very hot area, which just keeps getting hotter every year, with properties harder and harder to find there.  

Would anyone with STR experience in KC be willing to sit down for coffee on us or even just a phone call to provide some guidance? 

Out of those 200 lots, I bought 59 lots so on these 59 lots I own land as well as mobile homes (Even though out of 59 lots, only 36 lots have mobile home at this time).
