Most boat and RV deals never hit LoopNet because the best opportunities come from years-long relationships with owners before they list. Passive alerts miss the premium deals in strong markets with motivated sellers that only surface through direct networking.

Here's the frame for section 2. Most investors in this vertical are passive about deal sourcing. They set up alerts on LoopNet, they check CREXi occasionally, and wait for something to show up. And occasionally something does, but the best deals, the undermanaged facilities in the strong markets with motivated sellers who haven't told a broker yet, they don't usually show up online. They show up in conversations that started months or even years before the owners even, even knew they wanted to sell.
