As you dive into this exciting industry, consider attending real estate meetups and seminars to expand your knowledge and meet like-minded professionals.

When looking at mobile home parks you’ll want to get clarity on a few key things: are the homes tenant-owned or park-owned, what’s the current occupancy and market rent compared to what tenants are paying now, what’s included in the rent (utilities, lot only, etc.), and what the infrastructure looks like (sewer, water, electric) because those systems can make or break the deal long term.

Per industry stats, one of the biggest negative impacts on tenant retention is slow maintenance.Maybe focus on that...

Hi all, I’m seeking to learn more about the real estate industry and would love the chance to shadow a realtor to understand their day-to-day work.

You might have better luck by checking with local commercial brokerages that specialize in industrial properties.

Just my $0.02 working in the industry.

Include basement and attic as existing.Turn off the water (if not needed for heating) at the street, and transfer all utilities into the owner's name.You may remove and properly store any tenant items left behind, and that is at tenant's expense (collect that amount before you release the items). 

LA is a further ahead than many places, but a lot of utility companies across the country offer similar incentives.

Check if they’ve actually abandoned the place.If utilities are off, mail’s piling up, or neighbors haven’t seen them, document all of it.

For some of my rentals, that is included in property taxes, others it is part of the monthly utility bill (water, sewer, garbage) that the tenants pay for directly.
