How did you acquire your first mobile home park, mls deal, off market, etc?

Thank youHey Jimmy, Just helped a client of mine from the Bay Area secure an off market MFH in Modesto and rehab to position as a MTR.

 I know starting off in real estate is increasingly getting harder due to rates.

Here's what I came up with:3-bed, 6 guests: $46,000 gross4-bed, 8 guests: $73,000 gross5-bed, 10 guests: $87,000 gross6-bed, 12 guests: $98,000 gross6-bed, 14 guests: $102k grossAnd it starts to level off after that.

My question is, if I can read most of the information given at sessions, and network with people in my region, or social media, what is the benefit of taking 3-4 days off work and spending a couple grand (entrance, flight, food, lodging)? 

Flippers buy from wholesalers because they don't have the time required to build SOPs to generate off-market leads and convert them into contracts/projects.

Columbus, OH is a prime spot to kick off your journey.

If I only receive the down payment this year (let's say 20%) can I write off the entire 250k towards that and structure future years to try to get in lower LTCG categories than all at once?

Larger capex investments like new roof or windows can be scheduled based on your cash flow position but need to be addressed rather than just pushed off.
