Especially if just trying to build a network of teammembers to be the boots on the ground (since I cannot be there).

I would say don't discount the value of having familiarity with an out of state area and having boots on the ground connections.

I need help developing a plan and criteria for property search, building a solid team, and narrowing my locations of interest.Facts About Me:Immigrant: Bahamas (American Citizen)AD Military and Diplomat (Combat Veteran) Bachelors - The Citadel / Masters - Yale UniversityMulti-lingual ( Fluent in English and Spanish) (Working on Portuguese)**I need a seasoned mentor!! 

I agree with Devin, I think a local Realtor is the most important place to start for a team member that is boots on the ground, but I don't think it's AS important that your lender is local to you or the property.

That’s why People need boots on the ground information.

I can tell you the Seller initially valued the park around 200K based on full occupancy and 4 vacant POH's to boot, and the realtor has been aggressively trying to fill it up with tenants to get a higher price based on the monthly revenue figure.A trailing 12 month operating statement will fill in some of these holes about the longer term run rate and true park value, along with Curt's sage advice you can find straight from the MHU Due Diligence Manual - which you should use to help evaluate all MHP deals...Good luck.

I have been dealing with lots of off-market properties in Cleveland, OH. but cannot seem to find a reliable boot on the ground to handle the photography part of it all.

(also $500 renewal fee) (Nashville market)So I was thinking I can get a solid contract/lease, study up on the tenant screening and notices, etc, to avoid the management costs, but I will have difficulties after I place the first tenant and would need boots on the ground. 

I will be buying remotely from New York City and I am starting here to find boots on the ground.
