If you're buying a mobile home to fill a vacant lot – new or used – there are a few things you have to double-check because if you make the wrong decision the damage can be in the tens of thousands of dollars. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to review those items and explore how to get them right.

Most mobile home park owners are good-natured people who like to be helpful. But most park manager requests for “favors” need to be avoided at all costs. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to review the typical manager requests, why they rarely work out well, and how to fend them off.

The Trump administration is proposing to take Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac public, as well as to merge them into one entity in the process.

In this episode, Jim welcomes the extraordinary Chris Prefontaine, founder of Smart Real Estate Coach, for a deep dive into the mindset, structure, and discipline required to build financial freedom through creative real estate investing. Prefontaine shares lessons from the 2008 crash, explains why coaching matters, and offers practical pathways for people looking to break free from traditional financial systems and build sustainable wealth. 3 Key Takeaways: Creative real estate is a discipline, not a tactic. Chris outlines a three-step approach to real estate success. Coaching is about accountability, not just motivation. Real transformation comes from daily tracking, public accountability, and consistent feedback—not from a one-time seminar. Cash flow > Nest eggs. Chris and Jim challenge conventional retirement thinking, offering examples of individuals who liquidated 401(k)s and replaced stagnant savings with income-producing assets.

If you are looking to fill vacant lots in your mobile home park with used homes, one option that is rarely mentioned is “tax sales” stemming from unpaid property tax. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to explore how this process works in the real world and things to watch out for.

Most Americans are only familiar with owning property with a single-family home on it. But mobile home parks are much larger and complex. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to explore the unique nature of mobile home parks to bend the rigid rules of traditional private property law.

This podcast marks the 400th installment of the #1 Mobile Home Park discussion in the U.S. With 399 episodes under our belt we've covered a wide range of topics over the years, but this week we're going to revisit our fist ten titles and explore how they may have changed over the nearly eight years since they were first reviewed.

Are you looking to seize control of your retirement funds and explore alternative investment avenues beyond traditional stocks? In this episode, Adam Bergman, a nine-time author, former tax and ERISA attorney, and founder of IRA Financial, shares how self-directed IRAs can empower you to invest in assets like real estate, crypto, gold, private businesses, and more. Learn the essential tax rules and strategies to cultivate your retirement growth. In this episode, we chat about… Introduction to Self-Directed IRAs: Explained what a self-directed IRA is and how it differs from traditional IRAs managed by custodians like Fidelity or Vanguard. Three Things You Can't Do with an IRA: Clear breakdown of IRS restrictions: no life insurance, no collectibles, and no self-dealing (IRC Section 4975(c)). What Triggers UBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax): Covered the three scenarios that may trigger UBIT and outlined strategies to avoid or minimize it. Solo 401(k) vs. Self-Directed IRA: Compared the advantages of solo 401(k)s for the self-employed, including UBIT exemptions and higher contribution limits. Using an IRA LLC or "Checkbook IRA": Describe the structure, benefits of control, limited liability, and privacy offered by IRA LLCs. Real Estate and Crypto with a Self-Directed IRA: Detailed how self-directed IRAs can be used for real estate and crypto investments, including the role of non-recourse loans. Key Takeaways: Self-directed IRAs allow you to invest in a wide range of alternative assets, with only a few IRS restrictions. A qualified custodian is required to handle IRA funds and facilitate compliant investments. UBIT may apply to leveraged real estate or active business investments, but it can often be reduced or avoided with the right strategy. IRA LLCs with checkbook control offer more flexibility, privacy, and direct access to manage investments. Solo 401(k)s are ideal for self-employed individuals, offering higher contribution limits and exemptions from UBIT on leveraged real estate. Learning from credible sources and consulting professionals is essential to avoid costly mistakes in self-directed retirement planning   Resources from Adam      LinkedIn | IRA Financial  Resources from Mike and Nichole      Gateway Private Equity Group |  Nic's guide

Most mobile home park office hours tend to be Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5 PM – which just happens to be about the worst schedule if you're trying to sell homes. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to review how your office days and hours need to reflect the job at hand.

Coming into last week's U.S. jobs print, analyst expectations were all over the place. Another sign that although perhaps past peak uncertainty, markets and expectations are volatile. New ways to provide ballast in one's portfolio are worth considering to help steady the release of both data and policy shifts across the board, and to help you take a much longer view. On the show today to discuss Fidelity's alternative investments - both liquid and less liquid - is Director of Alternatives, Rory Poole. Recorded on July 3, 2025. At Fidelity, our mission is to build a better future for Canadian investors and help them stay ahead.

The successful mobile home park business model has always been simply to rent land. But sometimes the simple path is not enough for some owners, who venture out with additional ideas to boost net income. Sadly, most of these ideas fail to be profitable. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to explore the many different side-hustles that park owners have tried that have failed to actually make money.

In this solo episode, Jim Oliver challenges the traditional notion that financial freedom is the ultimate destination. Instead, he reframes it as the beginning of a more meaningful journey—one rooted in ownership, impact, and legacy. Drawing on personal stories, lessons from Infinite Banking, and thought-provoking metaphors, Jim urges listeners to shift from escape to empowerment and build a life of purpose beyond financial independence. 3 Key Takeaways: 1. Financial Freedom Is Just the Start Most people chase financial independence like it's the goal. It's not. It's just the starting line. Once you're free, that's when the real game—impact, leverage, and legacy—begins. 2. Control the Money, Control the Outcome When you control the money, you control the outcome. Infinite Banking puts you in the driver's seat—no more waiting on approvals, no more lost opportunity cost. You become the bank. 3. Impact Is the Ultimate ROI True wealth isn't just about what you earn or save—it's about what you build that outlives you. After freedom comes impact. The mission shifts from accumulation to contribution. Book Recommendations: Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach (particularly the opening parable about the creatures in the stream) Best Advice Jim Ever Received: “Let go.” Like the creature who released his grip on the rock to discover what the stream had in store, stepping into the unknown is the only way to discover what you're truly capable of.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the growing opportunities emerging from the wave of baby boomers retiring and selling their businesses. The conversation focuses on how multifamily offices specialize in tax planning, exit planning, and alternative investments to help families redeploy capital after years of building and growing their wealth.We explore the shift away from public market investments and the increasing appeal of the lower middle market in private equity.

Millions of investors are obsessed with the direction of interest rates. While that's a noble pursuit, there's a huge opportunity created by this distraction as far as mobile home parks are concerned. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to discuss why the late Sam Zell quote of “when everyone's looking left, look right” applies to much of what's going on right now.

While most mobile home park owners prefer the “parking lot” model in which all of the homes are strictly owned by the residents, in some cases even well-managed properties may engage in rentals for various reasons. And if you're going to rent mobile homes, it's essential that you have a system of rental inspections. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to explore the necessity of inspections and how to perform them properly.

When you buy a mobile home park, one of the first decisions you have to make is whether to keep the existing manager or to replace them.

In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to review the science behind making that choice correctly.

While municipal utilities are universally preferred, many mobile home parks have private water, sewer or both. Yet, in some cases, there is access to lines available to potentially convert the park over to the “city” utility equivalent. But should you consider doing so? In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to review the important considerations needed to make the right decision.
