This property could be a great first step in building your investment portfolio! 

Excited to hear your thoughts and tips!

I'm excited to be a part of this community and would love to connect with others in the CT area.

If anyone has recommendations for free resources—whether it’s books, websites, videos, or anything else that could help me sharpen my skills—I’d really appreciate it.

This would not solve it, what would solve it is density in other areas.

The land represents ~1% of the purchaseOn the contrary - if you purchase a $2 MM shack in manhattan on a postage stamp lot, the land could represent 99%Lever 2 - % of the property with a shorter useful life.Not all parts of a piece of real estate are depreciated at the same speed.Certain personal property assets have SHORTER lifespans in the eyes of the IRS vs the standard 27.5/39 year livesProperties with tons of this often have:- Over-developed land sites (hardscaping, pools, retaining walls)- Fancy Fixtures- Fancy Furniture (STRs!)

I guess you just gotta try to find your calling and what may appeal to you!

I would strongly recommend looking at the BiggerPockets lender finder since all those lenders are familiar with the investor mindset even if this is for a primary residence :)https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/lenders

But I also have questions to see if anyone thinks this is a solid deal and what they expect to see as appreciation with these manufactured homes on land not in a park.

I am an agent for a brokerage whose line of work is EXACTLY what this post says.
