www.mobilehomeuniveristy.com has by far the most extensive forum on the topic of MHP investing.

Hi Risa,I highly recommend the local South Bay meetup this Friday http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/144... .

I have been excited about real estate for over two years now, reading several books and blog posts on the topic on and off, but for some reason haven't really browsed the forums that often, nor have I made any posts before.

I was attending a local REI club meeting here in New York City and an interesting topic came up regarding distressed mortgages. 

Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business.
