The branches are worthless these days, they train them to call the call center and those guys don't know how to deal with stuff like this. 

I am simply looking for guidance on where to start directing my efforts and training my brain given the economic landscape.

Just seems like bad training for borrowers. 

This is an all too common response I hear from folks that jump into this market without training that think MH investing is anything like traditional SFR investing.

I have met him at a Regional Training in Sacramento, where he was a key speaker.

Because of my training in the military, I am used to someone telling me to do 1, 2, and 3, and you just saved someone's life.

I had Little to No Money & No Experience but a few REI Boot Camps- basically No Experience...To say I've had a lot of Failures during my 14 years of being involved in studying REI is an Understatement...If I was starting all over again, and my objective is to be able to build a robust REI Biz that can allow me to rehab 6-12 homes a year, wholesale 2-3 properties per month, and build a rental portfolio...I would first focus on getting good at one objective first...Generally most people start out wholesaling because it doesn't require the money or experience rehabbing or landlording requires...I would start with Wholesaling...go find 5-10 very good rehabbers and find out their Criteria for a Great Deal...Commit to building Value for them and ultimately a great relationship.With this you will already have buyers lined up, you know what areas to look for properties in, and you can research public record and see what they are paying for properties on the acquisition(and also ask them, but keep them honest by researching public record)...At this point become the best wholesaler to these rehabbers...you will learn a lot just in this process alone...How to evaluate Comps, Repair Values, Neighborhoods, etc...Which a great wholesaler will know how to do...It will make your deals easier to sell...Ultimately I would see which one of these Rehabber will be open to the idea of partnering/mentoring me on how to get into that arena...They may even allow you to follow the progress of their deals...Every deal has its surprises and over the course of 10-20 deals you will get a real life idea of what those surprises are, and even understand the "reason why" you calculate certain contingencies into deals and also what are the most costly mistakes or repairs to look for and avoid on deals...The value of this Experience will accelerate your learning curve...In my experience one mistake for a beginner can cost you a ton of money and even put you out of the rehab business.There is no way you can learn all the mistakes you must avoid by reading a book or taking a 3-day training program.

I understand the concept but I need some in-depth training.

So, if we train up more investors, our values will go up!
