It allowed me to get a more pragmatic understanding to the different expenses associated with rentals .

Start to learn real estate direct marketing and funnel creation, network with BP members and your local RE investors, begin learning how to put together wholesale deals / referral commissions to get yourself familiar with associates and dealmakers to get your name out there and foot in the door.Again, just some tips that may or may not work for some people.

The issue I've come across is the experience and upfront costs associated with hard money loans.

They broke the contract, they suffer the losses associated with that. 

I just joined a few weeks ago and I can already tell my knowledge is growing just from the association.  

I am going to have a survey done as soon as I can, and have a recommendation to a gentleman who installs septics to come out an see what the costs would be, and to identify exactly where the current one is, and how damaged.

It is possible the neighbor has a conflicting survey and is/could be in the right.

Usually, you'll have to obtain the documents associated with the park (i.e. rent rolls, leases, tax returns, etc) to make a better determination.

We have worked with IHT Realty and also Yield Street.Also, you could attend some investor groups like Real Estate Investors Association (REIA).

Take action on this survey/focus group.
