Welcome to the Connect Podcast with Cole Phillips! In this episode, we're diving into the significance of preparation in both monumental adventures and spiritual endeavors. Imagine the monumental challenge of climbing Mount Everest. It requires rigorous training, thorough preparation, and a vast array of specialized equipment. Just like climbing Everest, Easter weekend is a big deal for us as Christ-followers, requiring meticulous preparation. Cole draws parallels between the preparation needed for climbing Everest and the spiritual preparation required for Easter. Just as climbers need various tools and gear, we too need spiritual tools and readiness for what God has in store for us. Using Luke 9:51-56 as a foundation, Cole emphasizes Jesus's unwavering commitment to His mission despite rejection. He encourages us to prepare spiritually and practically, just as Jesus sent messengers ahead to prepare for His arrival. Through reflection on the disciples' reaction to rejection, Cole highlights the importance of maintaining focus on the mission of reaching the lost, rather than being deterred by rejection. With Easter approaching, Cole shares strategies for spiritual growth, reaching out to others, serving, and giving. From committing to prayer to inviting others to Easter services, every action contributes to the Kingdom's work. As Victory Sunday approaches, Cole invites listeners to participate in a special offering to support the vision of A Place to Call Home, emphasizing the impact of collective generosity. Ultimately, Cole underscores the core message of Easter: Christ's death and resurrection. This central truth is what we celebrate, and our preparation and actions during this season reflect our commitment to spreading the Good News. Join us as we prepare spiritually and practically for Easter, anticipating the transformative impact of celebrating Christ's victory over death. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cole-phillips2/support

In this captivating episode, we dive into Acts 15:1-5, a pivotal passage that addresses the age-old question of salvation: Is it achieved through works or by faith in Christ alone? Join Dr. Cole Phillips as we explore the historical context and significance of this passage and unpack its implications for our understanding of salvation. Drawing inspiration from the early church's struggle with this question, we embark on a fascinating journey through the vibrant discussions and debates that took place during the Jerusalem Council. This gathering of apostles and elders sought to address the question of whether Gentile believers needed to adhere to Jewish customs for salvation. Through engaging biblical analysis, we will examine the arguments put forth by those advocating for salvation by works. We explore the perspective that adherence to religious rituals, such as circumcision and observance of the Mosaic law, is necessary for salvation. We also delve into the contrasting viewpoint championed by the apostle Paul and others, emphasizing salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone. We explore the transformative power of grace and the belief that salvation is a free gift, received through faith rather than earned through human effort. Throughout the episode, we address common misconceptions, dispel myths in order to equip listeners with a deeper understanding of the biblical teachings on salvation and encourage them to reflect on their own faith journey. Join us for this thought-provoking episode as we unpack Acts 15:1-5 and explore the profound implications of what it means to be saved by faith in Christ alone.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Evan James, John Trupin, Max Ellingsen and Kate Preusser are here for an emergency episode of the podcast as one of the biggest moves of the offseason has fallen. After not extending a qualifying offer to Teoscar Hernández and trading Eugenio Suárez, the Mariners have now traded Jarred Kelenic along with Evan White and Marco Gonzales, surely for salary considerations in such a deal. Emotions are running high as one major piece of the Mariners outfield future is moving on so soon, but did they get anything interesting in return at least? Well, mixed reviews on that front, which is perhaps the most important piece of discussion. Jackson Kowar is at the very least a major league pitcher, kinda. Cole Phillips is to quote John “a very interesting pitcher coming off tommy john surgery”. Shout out to our sponsor MacDougall bats!

In this episode of The MHP Broker's Tips and Tricks podcast, Maxwell Baker, president of The Mobile Home Park Broker, interviewed park owner Steve Case about his industry experience and involvement with SECO. This and every Tips and Tricks podcast episode is brought to you by The MHP Broker's' proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Ask Max for details. Here Are the Show Highlights: - Steve Case has conducted numerous mobile home park transactions, and was a co-founder of the innovative and highly influential Mobile Home University series of educational programs. (Max, 1:10) - Steve started investing in mobile home parks while he was still an active-duty Air Force pilot planning his eventual retirement. In 1999 he became interested in the industry and started by networking with, and picking the brains of, legendary industry mentors Lonnie Scruggs and Lonnie Too. Steve bought his first park in 2000, after reading and studying Lonnie's book on the topic, and later ran a few deals with Lonnie. (Steve, 1:54) - Along with partner Corey Donaldson, Steve started Mobile Home Park University in 2004 as a prime industry educational resource. By the time he retired from the Air Force in 2006, Steve owned six or seven mobile home parks and about as many self-storage facilities, all of them in the Southeast. Through Mobile Home Park University, he brought in such industry heavy hitters as Lonnie, Dike Spottiford, Dave Reynolds and Frank Rolf to speak. They also ran boot camps for more in-depth industry training. (Dave, 2:50) - By 2008, Steve's commitments to a growing family led to him taking a backseat in the educational program. Eventually, he and Corey sold mobilehomeuniversity.com to Frank Rolf and Dave Reynolds. (Steve, 3:50) - In potentially running deals with their students, Frank and Dave run the program a little differently than Steve and his partner had, but it's just as informative and innovative. (Steve, 4:27) - One of the first things Max did after becoming a mobile home park broker was to take Frank and Dave's home study course. He found it to be very valuable. (Max, 5:22) - More recently, Steve was also a co-founder of the Southeast Community Owners (SECO), a very influential industry association and annual trade show to this day. The specific audience for SECO includes mom-and-pop mobile home park owners, rather than big corporate entities. SECO is a non-profit, and virtually every penny is raises goes to help support U.S. military veterans who are park residents in financial need. (Max, 6:16) - Steve had met Spencer Rohn, a fellow board member, when asked to join the board of the Georgia Manufactured Housing Association. He and Spencer discussed the need for establishing an organization that would address the education and networking needs of those who owned parks, as well as those who were considering buying or selling parks, or were otherwise interested in joining or growing their place in the industry. They founded SECO in around 2008, initially with as few as eight or ten participants, and it's steadily grown since as an important annual event. (Steve, 7:11) - Today, the name is misleading since the organization isn't exclusive to community owners in the Southeast U.S. anymore. They come from all over the country. In addition to park owners, attendees have included manufacturers, brokers, vendors and others even peripherally connected to the industry. While Steve went largely inactive by around 2018, Spencer asked him to take on the educational element of the program this year. In response, Steve put together a program of twelve educational sessions with park operators. (Steve, 8:03) - Speakers involved with this year's program, which will take place September 10-13 in Atlanta, include Ben Braband, Cole Phillips and Jefferson Lilly, among others. Whether you're a rookie or have been in the industry for years, there's something for all. One of the popular topics, for instance, is the importance of due diligence and how to do it right. (Steve, 9:08) - There will also be a series of round-tables which might include 700 to 800 participants this year. There will be two industry-expert hosts at each table, and participants can ask questions and get answers directly from the pros. (Steve, 10:04) - In addition to being a great networking and granular educational resource, SECO performs a valuable service to military vets in need. That's a no-brainers since so many of the people in the industry and involved with SECO are themselves military vets. That includes Max (U.S. Marines), Steve (U.S. Air Force), Dave Reynolds (Army), and Spencer Rohn (Navy), among others. (Max, 13:06) - A recent example of where SECO donations went is a vet in need of air conditioning in his home who wa helped through the referral of park owner David Roden. This year, since the event will take place over 9/11, the speakers will include two high-ranking military officers who are now involved in the industry. These are retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann, and retired Marine Major Scott Using. Both have written highly respected books on the industry. (Steve, 13:30) - Scott Mann is routinely on Fox News and he spearheaded Operation Pineapple Express, which got people out of Afghanistan before it fell. (Steve, 14:45) - There will be no selling during the course of SECO. That's not its purpose. (Steve, 15:18) - This lack of promotion is what makes this show different than entrepreneurial events led by the likes of Tony Robbins,and Grant Carbone. While those shows are great in their own way, the ultimate purpose is to upsell additional information or activities. That's not how SECO operates. (Max, 15:34) - While it might be too late to attend this year's show (unless you happen to live in or near Atlanta), you can join SECO at any time so you can be sure you're in attendance next year and beyond. Just go to the website at secoconference.com to learn more and to join. (Steve, 19:45) - You can also reach out directly to Max and he'll tell you how to join SECO and answer all of your questions. (Max, 20:12) Thinking of joining SECO? You should be if you're currently involved in the mobile home industry in any way, or plan to be. You can call Max atThe Mobile Home Park Broker, learn more about SECO and our innovative Community Price Maximizer platform to optimize your park value and sale price.

Power Quotes in This Episode: (About Mobile Home University) “And we just had a blast teaching people about the industry that were new to it, maybe coming from the multifamily or office space, and we did a few boot camps along the way and it was a great time.” (Steve, 2:50) “...that was the very first thing I did when I jumped into mobile home park brokerage. I bought (new Mobile Home University owners) Frank and Dave's home study course. I mean, it's a great course, man, and if they were able to absorb the stuff that you were doing and during that time, man, the course has been pretty amazing over the years, and it's gotten better and better.” (Max, 5:22) “We came up with an idea, Spencer, myself and another operator up in the northern part of Georgia, to get together just for a day, get as many community owners as we could to get together and talk about how we could help each other out with different tips, techniques, things that we were experiencing. I think at that first meeting there was eight or ten of us. I think it was in 2007, it could have been 2008. After that we did this annual thing that kept growing and growing.” (Steve, 7:11) “Spencer has done a phenomenal job in expounding upon it, bringing in manufacturers, bringing in vendors like yourself, the brokers, the different lenders, service agencies, those sorts of things, putting them all into what we call a convention.” (Steve, 8:30) “So I think this year is going to be the best educational platform we've ever had.” (Steve, 10:04)

In this episode of The MHP Broker's Tips and Tricks podcast, Maxwell Baker, president of The Mobile Home Park Broker, interviewed Cole Phillips, president of Phillips Investment Properties, on his experiences buying and managing the mobile home setup and major renovations of a Mobile Home Park in Perry, GA. We also chatted a bit about SECO22, this year's edition of the Southeast Community Owners annual conference. This and every Tips and Tricks podcast episode are brought to you by The MHP Broker's' proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Ask Max for details. Here Are the Show Highlights: Cole Phillips is a park owner and third-party service provider to the industry. (Max, 1:03) This edition of Tips and Tricks discussed Cole's work with a mobile home park in Perry, GA. In addition to owning parks, Cole's company also specializes in such services as setups, which is moving mobile home into client parks, and dealing with movers. (Max, 1:37) Cole had looked at the park years before, with his partner Steve Case, and both had shown no interest. The park was in shabby shape and in trouble with the city of Perry. In early 2021, a broker contacted Cole and asked him to look at the park again. By then it was in such bad shape that the city was fining it on a daily basis. The difference at that tim was that the city had done a beautiful job of renovating the surrounding neighborhood, so Cole convinced his partner to take another hard-edged look. If the city let them do things their way, they'd step in, buy the park and make the necessary renovations. (Cole, 2:37) Cole called the first meeting with about 10 city officials, introduced themselves and pitched their track record with parks. He said they'd document what they did, every step of the way. (Cole, 5:23) Cole pitched some pretty aggressive proposed improvements, including the removal of what would turn out to be 200 trees and major road repair and repaving. For proof of what they could do, they showcased their park in Centerville, just 15 miles down the road and said they wanted to do the same thing in Perry. (6:30) By the time Cole went to the second meeting with the same local team, they'd brought up additional questions and apparently got the answers they wanted to hear. The city officials were anxious to add affordable housing to the neighborhood. The daily fines with the current park owner had reached six figures, but the officials said they'd discontinue the daily fines if Cole's company bought the park and they made the improvements within an agreeable timeline. That was the carrot. The stick was that if Cole's company missed the timeline or didn't complete the improvements as agreed upon, the fines would continue. Cole enthusiastically agreed. (Cole, 7:47) Cole signed with the city and took on the project in February, 2021. (Cole, 9:25) By December of that same year, ten months after they'd started, the project was successfully completed. (Cole, 10:05) Beyond the park itself, the true benefit was that the company now had an entire town's worth of officials as references to the fact that Cole and his people made ambitious promises--and lived up to them. Park owners often have an adversarial relationship with cities, but he showed how at least one company could work in harmony with a city to not only beautify but bring back to life a park and make it a city showcase. (Cole,10:28) There are now 60 brand new homes on that property. They're still working on final touches. (Cole, 11:47) One of Cole's main services is still home setup for other park owners. He'll bring in homes, and deal with the movers. He estimates that he's setup an average of about 375 homes a year over the last five pre-COVID years. (Cole,13:53) COVID impacted that total considerably, because manufacturers were slowed down, but business is returning. (Cole,14:09) For SECO22, which is Oct. 3-6 in Stone Mountain Park in suburban Atlanta, Cole will have some presence, but not as much as usual. He'll probably be part of a panel discussion to discuss the Perry project and other issues, but he won't have a booth because he's just too busy. (Cole, 17:09) SECO22 will be the first physical show after COVID turned the conference virtual for the last two years, and about 500 people are expected.

Just drop Max a line at info@themhpbroker.com or give him a call at 678-932-0200. Power Quotes on This Episode: “(Cole's company is the) here-are-the-keys type of third party that you can hire to come in and essentially get your homes in there, and deal with all of the knucklehead movers that are out there who are unreliable.” (Max, 1:37) “The city manager, housing development guys, code enforcement was there, the utility companies were there. There was a roomful of people; I think there was 10 people in this first meeting.” (Cole, 5:23) (Despite the) six-figure fine, it took me every bit of two seconds to answer. Sure, we'll do it, because I knew what I could do.” (Cole, 9:07) “Within that 10 month stretch, you know, we moved mountains and what we accomplished in that 10 months, you know, the park was great.” (Cole, 10:28) “We're the last frontier for affordable housing. (Cole, 11:47) “We are months, a couple months away from being completely done with this project, meaning every lot's cool, brand new houses in, two-car parking pads. It's just a beautiful thing.” (Cole, 11:47) “If you've got a completely vacant park, Cole is the guy to call, because he will just hand you the keys and really talk to the city and the county and can manage all the paperwork and all that jazz and manage all the movers, which, if you've been in this industry long enough, you know how hard that is.” (Max, 12:44) “I love SECO. SECO is a great place to network.” (Cole, 17:34)
