Let me know if your answer changes based on hot/cold market, amount of room for homeowner to turn their car around (don't have to backup onto street, front yard size, and expected profit (for buffer in case ARV is off).Thanks!

@Brandon Boyce - Local Facebook real estate investor groups, by attending local RE meetups, direct mailing campaigns, paying a VA to cold call, word of mouth by telling everyone you're a real estate investor, maintaining solid relationships with sellers (I've had an off market property sourced to me from a seller of a property I bought), developing relationships w/ wholesalers and investor focused agents who have "pocket listings". 

Water goes wherever it wants. 

-RobHey Rob,Sorry to kind of pour cold water on your idea, but I think you would be better off NOT getting your real estate license at first and use a realtor as a resource.

One good idea is to buy the $10 leak alert detectors that will scream like a fire alarm when they are in contact with water.

Still have to save for roof, appliances, hot water heater, hvac, exterior paint or siding, etc.  

The MHP is on city sewer and water (which I believe to be a bonus). 

These buildings will have shared community gardening and parking.I'd like to find an attorney that can help with setting up the HOA & bylaws.The units are all set up as separate entities (separate solar systems, etc...).Yet, there is actually quite a bit to think about in terms of maintenance & other hoa rules.How is the watering of the shared gardening space being handled?

Obvious Answers: Chamber of Commerce, Cold Calling/ Networking with Locals. 

One of the largest cost is going to be in bringing the lines (gas/electric/plumbing) over and of course the drains for the waste water.
