Life-Changing Mentorship That Helped Me Build a $60m Portfolio
I started my mobile home park journey in college over 25 years ago. I made the plans, read the books, went to seminars, and bought all the bootcamp courses. But instead of buying a park, I built a successful business that ultimately distracted me from my original goal. I even helped a family member get into parks before I finally took the leap myself. The real catalyst? Ryanâs mentorship program. It laid the foundationâand with Michaelâs expansion of the program, itâs become something far greater than I ever imagined. I closed on my first park in January 2022âa $575K deal that felt massive at the time. Now, just over 3 years later, Iâve purchased 24 parks, over 1,000 active pads, 250 approved expansion pads, and currently own $60 million in income-producing real estate. To put it in perspective: I now make more in one week than I used to make in a year. I consider myself average (maybe below average) in most areasâexcept two: my work ethic and my ability to analyze risk and make decisions quickly. Odds are, youâre better than me at almost everything else. So if youâre thinking about getting into this game, do it. Buy something. Rents go up. Tenants rarely leave. Stuff breaks, but not often. And yesâmoney comes in pretty easily. Use this groupâs formula as your foundation. Take the first step. It might feel like a cliff, but trust meâthere is no cliff.
