    Send us a textColin and Josh finally spill the beans on their latest mobile home park deal — a $3.6 million portfolio they locked down with (almost) no money out of pocket. But here's the catch: they actually did bring a few grand to the table… so is "no money down" just a sexy lie to sell you a course?This episode dives into what “no money out of pocket” really means, how their investor got 5% equity, and the beautiful mess of coordinating signatures with trusts, partners, and a very tired Josh who went to bed at 7:30 PM. Oh, and if you're a high-income earner looking to offset taxes — the boys talk depreciation and short-term rental loopholes too. Grab a wine (hopefully worth $460 like Colin's), and enjoy the banter.
