One last tidbit- I've NEVER found an owner of a Park that wasn't interested in selling and tired of managing it.

Most places tell you how they have to do that to prevent tire kickers from wasting their time.

Nice.I think the percentage of leads from the web becoming deals is slightly less than other forms of marketing (more tire kickers), but the deals have been better, for the most part.

You are going to get pretty tired of requesting each payment from the custodian, especially given the level of customer service at most SDIRA custodians.  

I got tired of dealing with bad wholesalers also, so once I found a really good legitimate one, I partnered up with them to work with me fulltime. 

A lot of good hardworking people live in these areas, but due to the lower average income they become riskier areas for investment, because people living paycheck to paycheck (regardless of the reasons why) are just one sick day or one flat tire away from missing rent.

You can find lots of info on that strategy on BP and all over the web but I like to refer to that strategy as 'kicking the tires' on a VR to see how it will really do as a rental without committing to actually purchasing it.  

Foreclosure , short sales are all options, distressed properties, ( run down or tired landlords), hard to find anything on MLS

But I'm getting tired of putting in so much effort to manage them.

While she knew how to drive, at least by following traffic laws, knowing how to put gas in the car and knowing air had to be in the tires, she had no clue about what was involved in keeping her car up.BTW, this was the same sweet beauty that tried to put oil in her car through the dip stick hole!
