There is a lot to learn so I have been spending plenty of time reading and researching.

Using the 70% Rule it says that we should only be willing to spend around $83,000 for the property (Strike Price = (.7x$175,000) - $40,000 = $82,500.)  

With this said, overpaying for a mobile home AND over improving a mobile home are two big areas where newbie mobile home investors spend too much money.

I spend a lot of time looking on airbnb to see what various units go for nightly in different areas... and am almost always surprised in a good way. 

When I look at a potential investment I ask questions that mostly pertain to what I am going to have to spend in the future.

I also found a passion to read Brandon's book and finished it in 3 days, spending 2 to 3 hours a day with a notebook and not just reading but studying it.

RCG has been training "Lonnie Dealers" for about three years now, less than one year seriously, and we spend considerable time on teach LDs how to approach and enter into joint agreements with community owners.A community manager is not the same thing as a community owner.

I've been spending a lot of time trying to get that figured out too, as I have big plans for 2016!

I would do it, except my wife refuses to do so :)With no experience in actually executing flips (making offers now to try and get my first one) On the inspection front...I'd rather spend a few hundred dollars to stay out of a few thousand dollar problem.

Sounds like you guys spend a lot of time on deal one.
