@Dave FosterThank you for your expertise!

Regardless of the market conditions, if you are investing overseas or if you don't have local expertise, the simplest option would be investing through REITS.

Costs are largely offset by $3,150 lender credit to you, so this is a very cheap transaction.any expertise would be highly helpful and very grateful.thanks

The board for the MHA for each state usually includes an attorney with an expertise in MHP and RV parks. 

As someone who's been around the block for a few years and invested in 14 deals, you should rely on your expertise and look at the raw data the facts presented to you, rather than concentrate on the adjectives operators use to describe their business model. 

Currently, the commercial retail sector is attractive to me for the large nature of the deals and high returns they bring.

My expertise lies mostly in contracting so if anyone has any questions in that arena, I'm happy to help!

It's more about the expertise than the closeness to you... most advisers I speak with have done away with in person meetings, or maybe once a year if that. 

If you want to still be involved in the transaction, that is great, but be sure you've got a commercial agent's expertise involved in one way or another.
