@Harrison Beethe Even though you have a high-profile job, I would still recommend starting as everyone else with a House Hack in KC or Dallas wherever you call home. You can and probably should hire out the management, but other than that it will give you early experience as an investor, landlord, and help you figure out some of the lessons that book learning in REI will not teach. Good luck to you. I would recommend you connect with @Jordan Moorhead in Austin Texas, he is a very accomplished investor and Realtor that can teach you what he knows.

I second @Jordan Moorhead. He's a good guy who will tell you what you NEED to hear, not just what you want to hear.

Hello!

Is there a deadline to register? Additionally, is there a limit to the number of people attending the bootcamp?

Thanks.

@Anthony C., I believe August 16th is the last day to sign up. We are limiting the group to 1,000.

@Mindy Jensen Thanks! If you don't mind me asking, why did you decide to sell it? 

A variety of factors, but it was purchased with partners, and we received an offer for the property that was really good.

I owned a park for a while. To move a home into our park cost about $5,000 if I recall correctly. That's the cost of the truck to haul it into place and does not include the cost of the home itself.

Based on this cost, most tenants do not have the funds to move their homes and your park will be barren for a long time. 

We had connected with someone near our park who was connected to a lot of other park owners and was able to bring in lower cost, older homes to our park. We had some narrow lots and the older homes were the only ones that would fit on those, with the local setback rules.

Echoing what others say, most municipalities aren't excited about a MHP in their town because a MHP is not considered "improved" land, and therefore is not taxed at the "improved" rate.
