Podcasts about mobile home parks

Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #27 that origianlly aired on Sep. 27 2016. Our experience in a park we own in Raeford, NC. We recently acquired this park and quickly realized that both the on-site management and maintenance staff needed to be replaced ASAP! We discuss how we quickly identified the challenges associated with their poor performance and how we handled the transition with a completely new management team. This is a common scenario you will experience when purchasing turnaround or distressed mobile home parks and so we thought you might learn from our personal experience.    Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth. Join the Club!

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.

What if the key to long-term wealth wasn't found in skyscrapers or single-family homes—but in overlooked, misunderstood mobile home parks?Mobile home parks (MHPs) are often misunderstood, but for those looking to build real estate portfolios with strong cash flow, tenant stability, and legacy potential, MHPs are one of the most strategic investment plays available today. In this episode, Corwyn sits down with Arthur Varela and Bobby Wymbs from Matthews Real Estate to explore why mobile home parks are recession-resistant, how you can break into the space—even with limited capital—and how this asset class compares to more traditional investments like multifamily, triple-net leases, and self-storage.Together, they unpack not only the numbers and mechanics but also the mindset shifts required to see value where others don't.

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.

Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #19 that originally aired on Aug. 19, 2016. Charles and I will be discussing how to successfully turnaround and reposition a distressed mobile home park. Buying a turnaround park isn't for everyone, but if executed properly, your efforts should reward you handsomely in both substantial returns on your investment as well as huge amounts of built in equity and cash flow. But on the flipside, buying the wrong distressed park might potentially lead you into a downward tailspin, which will inevitably lead you to a financial loss. Our goal is to educate you so that you only buy the distressed parks that make sense.   Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth. Join the Club!

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.

Whitney Elkins-Hutten of PassiveInvesting.com interviews mobile home park investing expert Michael Pansolini, formerly of private equity giant Brookfield, as he spills the beans on ditching the corporate grind to dive headfirst into mobile home park investing. Get ready for a candid look at his inaugural deal, Brighton Court, including shocking due diligence surprises, the unique hurdles and hidden gems of the mobile home park world, and the ingenious 50/50 partnership that unlocked massive value-add potential.

As word got out about Mobile Home Parks over the past five+ years, many new players emerged in the space. The fundamentals were appealing, but many underestimated the capital expenditures required and the multitude of operational challenges. Mobile Home Parks can be lucrative, but there are a ton of nuances and speed bumps on the way to stabilization. As many of these players have been unable to achieve their business plans, they're starting to exit their properties. Pasha Esfandiary, Managing Partner and CEO of Evoke Capital, is acquiring parks from these sellers and completing their value-add plans and achieving operational maximization.

In this episode of The MHP Broker's  Tips and Tricks podcast, Maxwell Baker, president of The Mobile Home Park Broker, interviewed The MHP Broker Eric Wanck regarding an unusually easy sale in North Carolina. As with every Tips and Tricks podcast episode, this one 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. Call Max for details. Here Are the Show Highlights: If there was anything “unusual” about this transaction in North Carolina, it's how smoothly it went. Anyone who's been in mobile home sales, whether as a buyer, a seller or a broker knows that's not usually the case. For starters, the park was only on the market for 30 to 45 days before it went under contract. The seller had good books and complete records, which moved things along. Also, the park only contained park-owned homes, and they were 100 percent occupied. And all of the homes were titled, so there was no chasing down missing titles. They also had a great location in NC, a desirable place to be. (Eric, 01:17) Another thing that made the transaction quicker and easier than usual was the fact that the buyer was dealing with a lender he'd done business with before, so the lender knew his credit history and the business he was in. They already had a good business relationship. And the buyer owned a small portfolio of mobile home parks, so he knew how to conduct due diligence and get a transaction done.  Now the only potential obstacle was the appraisal. (Eric, 2:18) The appraisal went just as smoothly as the rest of the deal. No surprises whatsoever. (Eric, 2:46) Max noted the ability to sell your park even if you don't have good books and records, but it's easier on everyone (and faster!) if you keep good records. And it will help you get the best price possible. (Max, 3:35) Easy sale, or challenges every step of the way. Whatever obstacles we find in front of us, we can get past it and get you a good and clean sale at the best possible price. Call Eric Wanck or Max Baker at The MHP Broker, (678) 932-0200 and we'll help you find a qualified buyer and an optimal sale price.You can also drop us a line at info@themhpbroker.com. Power Quotes in This Episode: “Thankfully we had no issues whatsoever. So, it tells me that we got a good contract, we priced it right, and as I said, this one was a really smooth little deal. We got it closed on time, no extensions.” (Eric, 2:46) “That's rare. It's like a unicorn!” (Max, 3:01) “ We can still sell the community for you (if you don't have good records), but there's just so many more options for you as a seller if you have clean books and records, because you want to be easy to buy from. If you're hard to buy from, the price is gonna suffer. If you're easy to buy from, you're gonna get the highest price you can get.” (Max, 3:35)

Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #16 that originally aired on July 28, 2016. Charles and I will discuss mistake number 8 from our popular eBook, “The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…and how to avoid them.” One thing we see often is that many investors will choose to look for parks locally for the sole purpose of being near the park. There is nothing wrong with being close to your park, but you definitely don't need to be. If you find that you live in a market where CAP rates are insanely low or in a market that is going through tough times, you would be much wiser to invest outside of your immediate area. The business model and management style we teach is effective whether you live across the street from your park or across the country. Don't put yourself in the position of buying a bad investment just for the sake of being close to it. Proximity does not correlate to success in this business.   Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth. Join the Club!

Charles and I will discuss mistake number 10 from our popular eBook, “The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…and how to avoid them.” We have all heard the phrase, “Use the seller's numbers” time and time again.

Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #122 that originally aired on Jan. 6, 2021. The practice in grading mobile home parks with the "star" rating (usually one to five stars), which exists for no other type of commercial real estate. What makes this interesting is that almost no one who uses the rating knows what it means or where it comes from. Ask a broker, lender, or even large corporate operators what the difference is between a three-star and a five-star park, and you will likely get a muddled response referring to amenities, paved streets, or swimming pools, but no hard data about how the stars are assigned or who does it.  Learn About Investment and Partnership Opportunities with Kevin and His Team  Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth. Join the Club!

Any time that you pay more for a mobile home park than it is currently worth, based on existing net income, you are engaged in “stretching” to rationalize paying the higher amount.

In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to explore the fundamentals of “stretching” and determine their quotient of risk.

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Isaac Weinberger, Director at Madison Specs, to unpack the strategic benefits of cost segregation (cost seg) in commercial real estate. Isaac breaks down the mechanics of depreciation, how asset class characteristics impact bonus depreciation, and why cost seg studies remain valuable even as bonus depreciation rates decline. He also shares actionable insights on maximizing depreciation through timing, structuring partnerships, and reducing land allocation. The trio explores nuanced tax strategies, audit risks, and common investor mistakes—highlighting opportunities often missed, especially in hotel and RV park sectors.
