Today I got a call and had the following conversation with a seller that sounded pretty desperate to sell, judging form his tone, and his speech. 

If your goal is to own the property but have essentially no day-to-day involvement in the business of the vacation rental -- you don't talk to potential guests, you don't maintain the calendar, you don't coordinate housekeeping -- hire a real legal licensed vacation rental manager.  

Saw one hauled down the highway recently (with below zero value, counting disposal)..For a shield, maybe show them what a duplex sold for ten years ago in your area versus a mobile and where they are today in terms of appreciation (you could also make a good case on cash flow, especially with park/lot fees, but for a simple "wow" figure, that may do it)...The ones on a lot that are affixed to the ground do better here, but the ones in  the parks are personal property here (and I suspect elsewhere) and you get killed on the lot fee, and the construction is not ideal for durability in my climate. 

There is no time better than today to get started.  

I have my tenants ask me occasionally if I would be willing to sell them the house, to which I usually reply "We'll see", because it's unlikely they can afford to buy the house for what I would need to sell it - which would be, at a minimum, my original investment, equity appreciation, plus the difference I would need to purchase something equivalent in today's market.
