I use apps such as facebook marketplace and offer up to find deals on ceiling fans at 25% the cost of a new one.

I actually sent out a test ad on Facebook Marketplace, and got a multitude of responses, or “potential buyers” so now I am communicating with them to see why their desires are while I go out looking for homes

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Explore the local investor groups on Facebook, start building your network with wholesalers, and get ready to analyze a lot of deals.

My agents next plan of action is a 7 days ad campaign on Facebook.

There is no delivery status, so I was just wondering how long it usually takes before receiving purchased items. 

Initial Walkthrough - Confirm the number of spaces, the general condition of the utilities at each space, the status of the home on each space (POH, TOH, vacant, RV, etc.) and the condition of the rest of the park and amenities (roads, clubhouse, office, pool, etc).

If you get this listing rolling and obtain superhost status within the first few months, and you keep it there... you'll be able to charge whatever you want per-night after a year of boosting SEO. 

You can also check meetup.com or search facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.
