Can you start investing in real estate with just $15,000? Yep, and mobile home investing is how you do it. We know what you're thinking, “I don't want to own trailers! I want to invest in “real” houses where the “real” money is at!” That's what today's guest John Fedro thought too some twenty years ago when he stumbled into mobile home investing, which, at the time, was even too embarrassing for him to share. But, over the past two decades, this at-first “embarrassing” investment has made him wealthy, and if you follow his lead, it can do the same for you. John has successfully made money with mobile homes in various ways: buying and flipping, wholesaling, renting, and seller financing, the main topic of today's episode. He provides a masterclass on how to make money buying and selling mobile homes, where you essentially take on the role of the bank. However, it's crucial to be cautious. Mishandling this could lead you into an ethical gray area and potentially harm your buyer. On the other hand, getting it right can create a win-win situation for both the buyer and seller while making you wealthy.  John shares his whole strategy, plus how he's getting into deals for $15,000 and often making DOUBLE his money and $400 per month (or more) cash flow per door when he seller finances these properties. If you want a way to get into real estate investing without a ton of cash but with the potential to make a serious return on your money, this may be your winning strategy. In This Episode We Cover The three “levels” of mobile home investing and how much each costs to get into The danger of seller financing the wrong way and how it can hurt your buyer Why you MUST background check EVERYONE you seller-finance a mobile home to One thing that new mobile home investors overlook that can ruin your properties The exit strategies you must know about to avoid losing money on your next deal Whether or not we would invest in mobile homes (and our concerns with seller financing)  And So Much More!

(11:18) Win-Win Seller Financing  (16:52) 3 "Levels" of Mobile Home Investing (22:08) How Much to Invest?  (23:53) Cash Flow and Profit Numbers (26:51) What to Look Out For (32:38) New Investors, Do THIS!  (33:52) Would WE Invest In It?

John Fedro, a mobile home investing expert, joins host Ash Patel on the Best Ever Show. In Part II of this two-part interview, John discusses why he's NOT interested in RV parks, the roadblocks to scaling, and why he's currently not raising capital — an admission to which Ash responds with a story that changes John's perspective on raising capital, and likely yours, too.

Today's Flash Back Friday episode is from #85 that originally aired on Aug. 31, 2015 This week we're going to speaking with long time mobile home investor , John Fedro. I wanted to bring John onto the show because as you are probably already aware (if you're a regular listener to the show) is that my asset of choice are mobile home parks. And if you know anything about the mobile home park business, then you know that a big component of increasing the value of your park is by purchasing used mobile homes and placing them on any vacant pads within your park and then either renting them out or selling them on terms to an end user. Well, guess what John is an expert at? He has made a living by finding great deals on used mobile homes which he then rents or sells to create passive income. What you'll learn in today's show can be applied to both investing in individual mobile homes or investing in entire mobile home parks. Here's a few things you'll learn in our interview with John today: How he accidentally stumbled into mobile home investing. How he finds massively discounted mobile homes for sale, in fact, the average price he pays is $6,000 How he was able to go from a 100% buyer default rate when selling on terms and was able to get that down to less than a 5% default rate. How he is able to net a minimum of $300 per month of cash flow on a single mobile home and can usually recoup 100% of his original investment in 6 months or less.  How you can become a huge asset to a mobile home park owner by buying homes and moving them into their park or purchasing existing homes within the park. Why it took him so long to transition over to investing in Mobile Homes to entire Mobile Home Parks and why he wishes he would have made the switch sooner. How he creatively bought into a partnership in an existing mobile home park and is now in the turnaround process and is already eyeing up his second park And much more   ☑️ Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our investment opportunity by visiting www.SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Self DirectedIRA Investment Opportunity–Click Here: https://www.advantaira.com/partners/s... To Learn More About How You CanInvest With Us Through Your SDIRA Accredited Investors Click Here: https://sunrisecapitalinvestors.com/ to learn more about partnering with me and my team on Mobile Home Park deals!

Everyone has their own unique experiences in real estate investing and building a portfolio of properties. Some of us develop a thriving local (or not so local) real estate empire, while other investors fail to complete their first real estate investment. Many times we sabotage our own businesses. Ultimately, you are in charge of your successes and your failures. As I write this, I understand that I do not speak for the entire human race or even other investors. However, I have most definitely changed as a human being (and real estate investor) over the past 15 years. Below are five traits that I have attempted to cut from my life. I use the word “attempted” because this is an ongoing process, and sometimes I still make mistakes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Over my 16 years of investing in mobile homes, I've heard a similar nasty story to the one below from two other active mobile home investors. If we don't learn from our own mistakes—and more importantly, the mistakes of others—we are doomed to repeat them. Disclaimer: This story gets a little gross. Maybe don't eat while reading this. The Story It was November 2002. I was investing in my fifth mobile home deal. This particular home was a three-bedroom single-wide from the 1980s located in a pre-existing mobile home park in a small town outside of Tampa, Fla. I liked the area the park was located in, and the park manager liked me. The seller was asking less than $4,000, and I thought the home was a bargain. After quickly walking through the home and poking my head inside every room, I convinced myself that I must buy this home. I shook the seller's hand. Learn more about your ad choices.

Entry Fees:1) Cost to play the game - we usually see this as the upfront cost - the cost of entry associated with buying a stock, buying a franchise or investing in a futures index.2) Cost to play the game well - we think of these costs as hidden costs, long term costs and the cost of draw downs or losses.3) Understanding the market cycles - every market has a rhythm as the people investing in them have rhythms.  Investors are responsible for the majority of the cycles as cycles are created by human nature.  Macro cycles or eras revolve around 100 year snapshots of the market.  25 year rhythms or "turnings" respond to more generational cues (The Fourth Turning, Strauss and Howe)Stephen Covey - "Start with the end in mind"John Fedro - mobilehomeinvesting.netK-cycles  - Russian economist, Kondratiev or Kondratieff that first developed language around the long term cycles of markets.Garrett Gunderson - "Risk is in the investor"

When looking for the next deal, many investors tend to overlook mobile homes, but this doesn't change the fact that there is certainly money to be made from them as an asset class. With over 18 years of experience in mobile homes and parks, our guest on today's episode can certainly attest to that. John Fedro stumbled upon mobile homes when he invested in a four-bedroom unit inside of a preexisting park. Over the next eleven months, he added ten more mobile homes to his cash flow and portfolio. ----Our gracious sponsor: Gene Trowbridge and Jillian Sidoti, founding partners of the top syndication law firm Trowbridge Sidoti, have a legal team with over 88 years of combined legal experience.

Park Owned Homes (POHs) can often be a nightmare and most seemingly shy away from owning the homes in favor of just owning the dirt. But what if you come into some POHs? THE John Fedro joins me on this episode to discuss turning POHs from pain point to profit point.

Today's show is dedicated to the idea of mobile home investing. John Fedro stumbled into the mobile home investment business and has since made it his unique area of specialty. Mobile homes have some unique characteristics that might make them an attractive investment class for you to consider. (After all, you can often buy an entire house for less than a new car!) But they also carry some significant potential downsides.

John Fedro is mobile home investor. He began investing in Florida and has expanded across the country. Mobile home investing require relatively small amounts of equity to get started and can be an excellent way to get started in the real estate business. Hear John's story!

John Fedro is the Host of the Mobile Home Investing Lessons podcast and known as an expert in the mobile home space.     John is also the owner of MobileHomeInvesting.net which I have found to be a great resource and learning tool to get started in mobile home investing.  Have you ever considered mobile homes as an investment opportunity?   Prior to recording this episode Tyler Sheff discovered that John Fedro is a student of the great Larry Harbolt.  During this episodes, we discuss the basics of mobile home investing along with the stigmas that are attached to them.   Your host was blown away while talking to John about this niche investment space, little did he know there was such little competition.  People generally fear what they don’t understand, mobile home investing is no different.   When considering a niche area of investing, perhaps the less saturated areas are worth paying attention to.   Mobile home parks seem to carry less of a stigma and are generally found to be more attractive by the general investing community.  John feels much of this comes from the media attention that park investing brings.  Many national publications such as the NY Times, Huffington Post, ect tend to draw additional attention to the park niche.   John feels that taking the time to first own a few homes in a park helps the investor gain that experience to move into the park investing space.  A big part of the investment is the culture, and it is important for the investor to adapt to that culture by learning the customer they intend on serving.   When reselling a mobile home in a park, John Fedro recommends collecting the lot rent from the buyer to be sure that lot rent gets paid on time.  Speaking of time, when dealing with homes in parks, time is of the essence….that lot rent needs to be paid on time with no excuses.   When dealing with traditional homes, there are buyer’s markets and seller’s markets.  In the mobile home space that is not always true.  More often than not, the mobile home space remains a Buyer’s market because most sellers are looking for cash buyers due to it being tough to finance mobile homes.   To learn more about John’s niche marketplace, head on over to MobileHomeInvesting.net   Have you joined our facebook group yet?  If not head over to CashFlowGuys.com/Group   Ready to take your investing to the next level but need help getting there?  Spend 30 minutes on the phone getting “un stuck” with Tyler by visiting CashFlowGuys.com/asktyler
