I've been digging into mobile home park investing for some personal initiatives lately, so this was a genuinely selfish interview for me. My guest, Brad Johnson, is the co-founder and CIO of Vintage Capital, and he's got the kind of resume that makes you want to just sit back and ask questions: 20 years across traditional and alternative asset classes, over $3.3 billion in commercial real estate acquisitions closed, and a rare perspective as both a former mobile home park operator and a current capital allocator in the space. We started with his own jump from Wall Street, leaving a real estate investment bank in his mid-30s, right after having his first kid, because manufactured housing showed the highest cash flow yields paired with the lowest default rates he'd ever seen, a combination that shouldn't exist but does. From there we got tactical: what makes mobile home parks structurally different from other real estate, why owning the infrastructure instead of the homes themselves changes your entire profit margin, and the specific due diligence checklist Brad runs on every deal, from market-level home price ratios down to road and utility conditions. We also got into the money side that most people never hear about: seller financing on smaller parks, how mom-and-pop sellers with decades of depreciation often want creative structuring more than a cash-out, and the accelerated depreciation tax benefit tied to land improvements that can hand investors an outsized first-year tax loss. Brad closed with a stat that stuck with me: the major players in this space have never had a negative year of net operating income growth in 25 years, a steady 5% annual compound that's almost unheard of in a normally cyclical asset class. If you've ever driven past a mobile home community and wondered whether there was real money in it, or you're already investing creatively and want to know how this niche fits into a three paydays approach, this conversation is worth your full attention.   Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:44  Introducing Brad Johnson, co-founder and CIO of Vintage Capital 01:04  Brad's 20 years across traditional and alternative asset classes, and $3.3 billion in acquisitions 02:05  Why Brad chose real estate over Wall Street securities: insider knowledge and lower volatility 03:15  Discovering manufactured housing's unusual combination of high yield and low default rates 03:33  Leaving a W-2 in his mid-30s, right after his first child, to buy mobile home parks 05:19  Advice for high income earners stuck and afraid to leave their W-2 07:23  Why mobile home parks structurally have low default rates and declining supply 08:35  Why owning the infrastructure instead of the homes creates higher profit margins 09:42  Park sizes Vintage Capital focuses on: the 50 to 150 pad middle market 11:53  Key due diligence: market-level home prices, population stability, and infrastructure condition 16:20  The accelerated depreciation tax benefit tied to land improvements and infrastructure 17:33  Why Vintage Capital partners with local operators and avoids anti-landlord states 19:34  How seller financing shows up in mobile home park deals, and why 22:08  A real community story: a woman who focused on free-and-clear parks for creative financing 23:12  Why clustering smaller parks into a regional portfolio creates arbitrage opportunities 24:32  How to reach Brad and Vintage Capital directly 25:37  The stat that stands out: 25 years without a single negative year of NOI growth   Quotables "If I don't do it now, I'm never going to do it."

260813PC faulenzen – radeln - lesen – Urlaubstagebuch Tag 3Mensch Mahler am 12.08.2026Vorgestern Abend: Überraschung! Ein Plakat an der Straße gesehen: Sommernachtskino am Meer. Wir haben zwei Bio-Bikes ausgeborgt und sind hingefahren. Zuerst Fisch essen und Sauerfleisch. Dann ein Konzert als Vorprogramm zum Film. Dennis Vahlen, nie vorher gehört, aber ein wirklich guter Liedermacher und Cover-Interpret. Der Film: „Mein Freund der Pinguin“ – rührend und ein bisschen realitätsfremd. Als die Sonne unten war, haben wir uns auf den Liegen in mitgebrachte Decken gepackt und Popcorn gegessen. 9 Kilometer in der Nacht zum Campingplatz geradelt. Connys Licht am Rad erwies sich als trübe Funzel, mein Rad hatte gar kein Licht. Ich hab's auf jeden Fall nicht angekriegt. Und so fuhren wir eine Stunde über unbekannte Wege durch die Nacht. Dafür haben wir gestern die Bio-Bikes richtig genutzt. Eine große Tour. Ich habe meinen Lieblingsspruch angebracht: die 3 natürlichen Feinde des Menschen sind der Tod, das Finanzamt und der Gegenwind. Meine Güte, was sind wir verwöhnt von E-Bike-Power und optimal angepasstem Sattel … War anstrengend, aber trotzdem schön. Nur: weder eine Badestelle noch eine Kneipe gefunden im Hinterland der Ostseeküste. Schließlich hat uns Wasser aus dem Automaten und eine Döner-Bude gerettet. Dann. Auf der Veranda des Mobile-Homes liegen, in der Sonne dösen, lesen und den Wolken zusehen, die am Himmel vorbeiziehen. Urlaub halt, wie er sein muss. Kein Druck. Keine Termine. Kein Freizeitstress. Beim Aufstehen ging mir die „Morgenwonne“ von Joachim Ringelnatz durch den Kopf. Ich bin so knallvergnügt erwacht.Ich klatsche meine Hüften.Das Wasser lockt. Die Seife lacht.Es dürstet mich nach Lüften.Ein schmuckes Laken macht einen KnicksUnd gratuliert mir zum Baden.Zwei schwarze Schuhe in blankem WichsBetiteln mich „Euer Gnaden“.Aus meiner tiefsten Seele ziehtMit NasenflügelbebenEin ungeheurer AppetitNach Frühstück und nach Leben.

Most people think wealth begins with money. Matt Bradbury's story proves it begins with ownership, discipline, and the willingness to start where you are.Long before building successful businesses and investing in real estate, Matthew was a young husband and father raising three children while living in a mobile home and relying on government assistance. Instead of allowing those circumstances to define his future, he used them as the foundation for something much greater.Corwyn J. Melette and Matthew explore how affordable homeownership, entrepreneurship, financial discipline, and long-term thinking can create opportunities that change a family's future. From protecting equity to building businesses and creating generational wealth, this conversation demonstrates that lasting success is built through intentional decisions—not perfect circumstances.Key Takeaways:00:01 Wealth begins with wise decisions—not money04:15 From a mobile home to financial success09:20 Why starting small creates long-term opportunities12:20 Business ownership and real estate work together17:35 Why owning equity matters21:40 Leadership, integrity, and lasting success26:20 Why your starting point never defines your futureLegacy Building Takeaway:"Put yourself third.

Leo Young is the founder and managing partner of Cornell Communities, a vertically integrated operator of manufactured housing communities across the Midwest and Southeast. He joins Alternative Investing Advantage host Alex Perny to explain what has changed for anyone buying a mobile home park. Easy acquisitions are gone. The edge has moved to underwriting and operations.Key Points:- Buying a mobile home park starts with separating the income streams. A single global cap rate hides the difference between lot rent and park-owned home rent.- Lenders do not treat those two streams equally. Tenant-owned home income gets capitalized. Park-owned home income is often discounted or excluded, which reduces your loan amount.- Tax reassessment is the most missed line item. Some states reassess your purchase price, which can double, triple, or 5x the bill in a single year.- Infrastructure is the largest expense in most mobile home parks. A private wastewater treatment plant can cost six figures to replace.- Operations now matter more than acquisition. Running a manufactured housing community well is the real edge in this market cycle.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: buying a mobile home park02:55 Who is buying mobile home parks today09:00 Park owned vs tenant owned homes explained16:40 Sewer, utility, and zoning risks to check30:06 What drives mobile home park values39:56 How tax reassessment erases projected returns46:53 Why operations matter more than the dealSubscribe to our YouTube channel and join our growing community for new videos every week.If you are interested in being a podcast guest speaker or have questions, contact us at Podcast@AdvantaIRA.com.Learn more about our guest, Leo Young: https://www.cornellcommunities.com/Learn more about Advanta IRA: https://www.AdvantaIRA.com/ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/advanta-ira https://www.linkedin.com/company/Advanta-IRA/ https://twitter.com/AdvantaIRA https://www.facebook.com/AdvantaIRA/ https://www.instagram.com/AdvantaIRA/#MobileHomeParks #ManufacturedHousing

On this episode of the Deal Farm®, Kevin and Ken sit down with Brad Johnson to trace his journey from logistics consulting and casual weekend investing to building a mobile home park portfolio and ultimately closing over $3.3 billion in commercial real estate. Brad shares how spotting unusually high yields and low default rates in manufactured housing data led him to a niche most investors were completely ignoring in 2013, and how seller financing on his very first Kansas City park set the tone for how he approached deals. He breaks down the operational realities of running mobile home parks that most investors underestimate, and why boots-on-the-ground management is non-negotiable in value-add deals. If you're looking to understand how to find alpha in overlooked asset classes and scale a real estate business the right way, this episode is a masterclass.

Leo Young is the founder and managing partner of Cornell Communities, a private equity real estate firm revitalizing manufactured housing communities across eight states. He studied finance in college, then moved into sales at Tesla to build the communication skills he knew he was missing, working his way up to top regional salesperson before leaving to pursue real estate full time. After earning his real estate license, working in brokerage, and investing passively in apartments, Leo launched his own firm. Cornell Communities acquires and operates middle market mobile home parks, expanding access to affordable housing while delivering risk managed returns to accredited investors.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Stack skills deliberately, since finance, sales, and operations compound over a career Vet the operator harder than the pro forma, because execution drives returns Buy in the middle market where institutions with cheaper capital are not competing Underwrite infrastructure first, since older parks carry hidden CapEx risk Create value through expense discipline and rent normalization, not unit renovations     Topics From Finance to Tesla Sales Leo studied finance but could not hold a presentation or speak in front of a room He joined Tesla to fix that weakness and became the top regional salesperson Why He Left a Dream Job for Real Estate Sales income required constant output and did not build lasting wealth A first passive apartment investment and distribution check convinced him to go all in Manufactured Homes vs. Mobile Homes Manufactured housing is the legal term tied to federal HUD construction standards Roughly 20 million Americans live in these communities, across a wide quality range Buying in the Middle Market Institutions and REITs with cheaper capital absorb the top quality assets Leo targets workable properties where his team can execute a clear value add What He Underwrites First Infrastructure leads: water, sewer lines, and roads on parks 50 to 70 years old Purchase price, location, and regulations follow, then his own team bandwidth How He Vets Sponsors as a Limited Partner Most decks oversell the property and undersell the team He asks for case studies and how the sponsor responds when a deal goes wrong Why the Economics Work Residents own their homes, which lowers the operating expense ratio and lifts NOI Heavy land improvement creates more depreciable value in a cost segregation study Lot rents sit at the low end of the housing market, so demand stays strong The Two Main Value Levers Expenses: rebuild vendor contracts and move home and utility costs to residents Rent: normalize lot rents toward market while keeping the value proposition intact Site improvements like roads, fencing, signage, and lighting support resident relations Why Homes Rarely Move Relocating a home can cost $7,000 to $10,000 and risks damage in transit Most residents sell in place and cash in the equity they built Community and Retention Turnover runs near 5%, compared with roughly 50% in apartments Private yards and driveways make the setting closer to a subdivision than a building    

Affordable housing continues to be one of the biggest challenges across the country. Caleb Landon explains why mobile home parks continue to stand out as an investment opportunity while remaining one of the lowest cost housing options available. In this episode, Caleb shares why he chose mobile home parks after working in acquisitions, how value add strategies create investor returns, and why resident owned homes help reduce operating costs. He also discusses common misconceptions, how he finds deals, and the risks every investor should understand. Key Topics Why mobile home parks have remained attractive over the past decade The opportunity created by below market lot rents Why resident owned homes improve operations Common misconceptions about mobile home parks Risks including tornadoes, hurricanes, and stagflation Finding deals through broker relationships and online marketplaces Guest Information Caleb Landon is the founder of Landing Capital Group and invests in mobile home parks across Michigan, Iowa, and Texas.

If you're exploring accessible ways to invest in commercial real estate, this week's session breaks down one of the most overlooked options: Mobile Home Parks and RV Parks.We compare both models, explain how their operations differ, and help you decide which aligns with your goals. You'll also hear from Tiffany, a student who built a portfolio of parks while using real estate to support the work she loves most.

We have something under contract - and we wanted to bring you along for the ride. In this episode, we're giving you a raw portfolio update on our latest acquisition: a mobile home park in the Upper Valley NH/VT area, the same market where we've closed on our last four properties. This one is different though. Mobile home parks are a different asset class, a different due diligence process, and a different kind of opportunity - and we're walking you through all of it in real time.   This episode is purely about pulling back the curtain on how this deal came together, how we got it under contract, and what the due diligence process actually looks like on an asset like this. Sometimes the best deals find you, and this is one of those stories.   If you've ever wondered what it looks like when a real portfolio evolves into new asset classes, or how investors find and underwrite deals in markets they already know and trust, this episode is a front row seat to exactly that.

A small mobile home park purchased for extra parking ended up becoming the best investment Jack Martin ever owned. In this episode, Jack shares how that unexpected purchase changed the direction of his business and led him to focus entirely on mobile home park investing. He explains why residents owning their homes creates stability, why new communities are rarely built, and how his team acquires properties in one of the most competitive real estate sectors today. Jack also discusses the importance of off market deals, seller relationships, internal property management, and how he structures acquisitions using agency debt, seller financing, and investor capital. Key Topics How a small mobile home park changed Jack's investing career Why resident owned homes create stability The difference between trailer parks, mobile home parks, and manufactured housing communities Why new parks are rarely developed The role of off market acquisitions Seller financing versus agency debt Growing from one park to 14 communities Guest Information Jack Martin Founder of 5210 Website: 5210 Call To Action To connect with Jack and learn more about his company, visit the contact page at 52TEN.com.

Welcome back to our 50 Deals in 50 Days series! In this episode, note investing expert Scott Carson takes us to one of the fastest-growing regions in the country: Kyle, Texas, located in booming Hays County just south of Austin. If you think note investing requires massive capital, this distressed asset case study will flip the script. Discover how you can leverage a heavily discounted, non-performing note on a high-value acre of land to lock in massive equity protection and exponential returns. Key Topics CoveredThe High-Equity Asset Blueprint: This property features a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom attached double-wide mobile home sitting on a spacious 1.02-acre lot. While conservatively valued at a tax assessor price of $123,000, the legal payoff balance on the note is a mere $31,000—representing an incredible 25% investment-to-value ratio. Current Loan Status & Foreclosure Timeline: The owner-occupied property was modified in 2022 to a 40-year term with a low monthly P&I payment of $270.82. However, the borrower has fallen a full year behind, and formal foreclosure proceedings were initiated in February, positioning a potential auction within the next 60 days. The Low-Cost Investment Breakdown: Investors can acquire this first-lien note from the hedge fund at 80% of the legal balance ($24,800) plus a $1,000 transaction fee, putting your total out-of-pocket entry cost at just $25,800. Multi-Tranche Exit Strategies: Learn the various ways to win with this deal. If the borrower reinstates with a lump sum, your first-year ROI can skyrocket to 25%. If it goes to auction and sells at the legal balance, you net a quick $5,200 profit—yielding over a 100% annualized ROI due to the rapid 60-day turnaround. Creative Workout Options: If the note doesn't sell at auction, you take back a high-value acre of Texas land as an REO property. From there, you can pursue a deed-in-lieu, offer cash-for-keys, or clear the asset to rent it out for an estimated $1,500 to $1,700 a month. Conclusion & Next StepsDon't let profitable, asset-backed deals pass you by while your money sits idle. Whether you want to purchase this non-performing note outright, come on board as a funding partner, or completely master the note business, now is the time to strike.

Joe Jensen sits down with Major Hillard IV, a self-made mobile home park investor who started with just $1,500 and no connections before growing into more than 1,000 lots, 500+ homes sold, and over $70 million in real estate transactions. Major shares how reading Deals on Wheels by Lonnie Scruggs changed his life, pushing him from working three jobs and living with his parents into flipping mobile homes, buying parks, and eventually choosing mobile home communities over multifamily because of the lower overhead, stronger cash flow, and simpler maintenance model. Major breaks down why mobile home parks can be one of the most powerful affordable housing plays in real estate, especially when tenants own the homes and investors own the land. He explains how he turns around struggling communities through strong management, cleaner operations, better tenant standards, lights, cameras, and clear rules. The episode also covers the pros and cons of the asset class, including financing challenges, DMV/title issues, infrastructure concerns, tax advantages, and why institutional buyers are increasingly paying big money for stabilized parks.

309 - From $250K to $570K in 14 Months: How Tim Woodbridge Built a Mobile Home Park Empire Through Recovery and Resilience What if the deal everyone told you was bad turned out to be the foundation of an 1,100 lot portfolio? Tim Woodbridge bought his first mobile home park for $250,000 in 2019 with only 10 of 36 lots occupied. Experienced investors told him to walk away. Fourteen months later, after bringing in new homes and raising occupancy, that same property appraised for $570,000 and he returned every dollar of investor capital through a refinance. This episode is proof that your first deal does not have to be perfect to change the trajectory of your life. Tim is the founder and acquisitions lead at WCG Investments, where he and his two partners now manage roughly 25 mobile home parks and more than 1,100 lots across the southeast. He breaks down exactly how mobile home park investing works, including the hybrid ownership model his company uses to balance investor returns with affordable housing for tenants, and why he targets a 16 to 20 percent IRR that roughly doubles investor capital over five to seven years. He also opens up about being in long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol and living with multiple sclerosis, and how both experiences shaped a leadership philosophy built on meeting people exactly where they are. This episode is for accredited investors looking for a recession-resistant alternative to apartments and single-family rentals, for anyone curious about how mobile home parks actually generate returns, and for investors who need permission to stop waiting for the perfect deal and start taking action. If you have ever felt stuck in analysis paralysis, Tim's story is the push you need to hear today. 5 Powerful Takeaways How Tim turned a $250,000 mobile home park with 26 empty lots into a $570,000 asset in just 14 months by financing new homes through a manufacturer infill program during COVID Why chasing a "perfect" deal kept other investors on the sidelines while Tim built a portfolio that now spans 25 parks and over 1,100 lots The hybrid ownership model WCG Investments uses to balance park-owned homes, rent-to-own homes, and tenant-owned homes, so they never overpay for a single rigid strategy What accredited investors can actually expect to earn with a $50,000 minimum investment, including monthly distributions and a target of doubling their capital within five to seven years How Tim's long-term recovery from addiction and his multiple sclerosis diagnosis reshaped his approach to leadership, partnerships, and treating every tenant and investor like a human being first 00:00 Show Intro 00:40 Badassery Bestowment 01:01 First Deal Mindset 03:11 Meet Tim Woodbridge 04:35 Recovery and MS 09:04 Serving Residents 10:19 First Park Breakdown 14:56 Hybrid Ownership Models 16:54 Depreciation Myth 18:26 Risks and Resilience 20:03 Affordable Housing Shift 21:09 Tenants vs Investors 21:35 Recession Resistant Strategy 23:19 Investor Terms Explained 24:12 Returns Example Breakdown 25:38 Meet WCG Investments 26:30 Scaling Base Hits 28:21 Badass Books Advice 29:42 Drive Goals Systems 34:13 Partnership Tips 35:40 Defining Success Wrap   About the Guest Tim Woodbridge is the founder and acquisitions lead at WCG Investments, where he helps accredited investors build recession-resistant portfolios through mobile home park investing. He purchased his first park in December 2019 for $250,000 and doubled its value within 14 months through a strategic refinance. Today, he and his partners manage roughly 25 parks and more than 1,100 lots across the southeastern United States. A retired nurse, Tim is in long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol and lives with multiple sclerosis, experiences that shape a people-first approach to both his tenants and his investors. He is currently working toward $250 million in assets under management by 2029 and is driven by a long-term goal to help end homelessness in the United States by 2050.

Join an active community of RE investors here: https://linktr.ee/gabepetersenIn this episode of The Real Estate Investing Club podcast, I sit down with Jack Martin of 52TEN, one of the leading mobile home park owners and asset managers in the United States. We dive deep into mobile home park investing, affordable housing, real estate cash flow, asset management, mobile home community operations, and the strategies investors can use to build long-term wealth through real estate investing.

No matter how much you underwrite, budget, plan, and strategize, nothing ever goes exactly to plan. On our biggest mobile home park investment yet (700+ lots), we thought we had accounted for every obstacle that could have been thrown our way—boy, were we wrong. But with the right team, tactics, and pivots, we turned what many would have given up on into a property with close to $3M in annual NOI—and even more room to grow. Welcome back to another case study episode, where I'm sharing real deals we've taken down at Sunrise Capital Investors, giving you an under-the-hood look at what went wrong, what went right, the real returns, and the money we spent.  This time, we're in Fort Wayne, Indiana, taking a look at Ridgebrook Hills mobile home park, a community of over 700 lots, hundreds of residents, and huge infrastructure. What was supposed to be a homerun from the start turned into a steady stream of challenges for multiple years, but ended up being a rock-solid property we're proud to own with huge upside.  I'm sharing all the challenges, budgets, and real return numbers in this episode so you can dodge some of the headwinds we hit along the journey.  Insights from today's episode: How we landed a massive mobile home park by being disciplined when others were on buying sprees The real NOI numbers from this hugely improved mobile home park investment  The upside and value-add potential you can unlock with mismanaged mobile home parks  The staffing disaster that almost brought this deal to a halt (on day three!) An expense many investors overlook (we did!) that can cost you six-figures per year  The one thing that saved this deal (every investor or investment team needs this) — Full Ridgebrook Hills MHP Case Study  Real Deals: A $10M Win by Taking on This “Complex” Parking Garage Deal | Ep. 985 Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Chris Gavre breaks down how to buy vacant land and flip brand new mobile homes for $40K per deal using FHA financing and a repeatable 4-month system.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Chris Gavre of The Land Sharks to unpack one of the most underrated strategies in real estate investing right now: buying raw vacant land, placing a brand new manufactured home on it, making it FHA compliant, and selling it for $40,000+ in net profit per deal.Chris and his partner Robert have done 50-60 of these in a single year with a lean two-person operation.Topics covered in this episode:Why this strategy out-performs traditional house flipping on predictability and marginsHow to source vacant land using zoned and filtered county dataThe FHA compliance process: detitling, brick skirting, and the engineer certificationWhat a double wide costs wholesale from manufacturers like Clayton and Champion ($62-72K)How to net $40-45K per deal with total development costs around $40-50KThe 4-month timeline from land purchase to closed saleWhy 95% of buyers use FHA financing and what that means for your exitHow to fund these deals when hard money lenders have never heard of the strategyRunning 18-19 simultaneous projects with just two peopleThe zoning, septic, and permitting process broken down step by stepWhy direct mail pulls better leads than cold calling for this buy boxIf you're a real estate investor looking for a predictable, scalable alternative to house flipping or new construction, this episode is worth a listen.

Flip Profits Hit 2008 Lows. Mobile Homes Are The FixFlipping profits just hit their lowest point since 2008. The average flip is sitting 163 days from purchase to close, contractor surprises are chewing through margin, and most flippers are working harder for thinner spreads than they were two years ago.Meanwhile, one strategy is moving product in days... with margins most flippers wouldn't believe and almost zero competition.In this episode, I break down the Scrape and Replace Method my team has been running. What it is, why nobody else is touching it, and the one date in 1976 that creates the entire opportunity.We cover: - "Retiring the title,” - the legal step that converts the home into real property and opens up 30-year mortgage buyers- The one-word name change that gets you top dollar on resale- The all-in number on a typical Scrape-and-Replace deal... and the $30K to $100K profit spread on the back end- The Fairhope, Alabama flip that ballooned from a $40K rehab to $85K, and slowly bled out to $360K over 12 months- The 4 reasons nobody else is competing in this niche... and more!This episode covers the concept.

Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Leo Young, who shares how he scaled to 500+ mobile home park units while navigating increasing competition and regulatory pressure. He explains his strategy of improving communities, raising rents toward market, and shifting from quick exits to longer-term holds through refinancing to maximize investor returns. The conversation highlights how operators are being squeezed by both institutional capital and new investors entering the space, making deal flow harder to find. Leo also breaks down the realities of managing across multiple states, emphasizing geographic diversification to hedge against evolving regulations such as rent control. He discusses expanding into RV parks, the operational differences compared to mobile home parks, and why operator execution matters more than asset class. Throughout, he stresses disciplined underwriting, strong systems, and building the right team as the key to long-term success in a tightening market.
