You can work in real estate or you can actually work in real estate. I drove past the SoNo Collection in Connecticut today, a mall I helped fund as a junior accountant seven years ago, and realized I never even saw the asset in person. I pushed numbers for two years without touching the thing I was supporting. Now I walk the sites, underwrite the deals, negotiate the contracts, and build the operations. I know every inch of what I own. That is the difference. Choose the path where you get to touch the work. Last few days of our Black Friday deal are running right now if you want to save $500 (our lowest pricing ever again) on the best Mobile Home Park Mastermind out there!

I am trying to structure a MHP deal. Is 25% down a deal killer? Property Type - MHP Offer Price - $1,347,597 Units - 24 Annual Income - $171,366 Annual Expenses - $68,547 (used a default of 40% because his expenses were lower) Occupancy - 95% NOTE: Park owned homes from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Owner Finance Offer – Mortgage Purchase price - $1,347,597. Down payment - $327,087. Interest – 2.5%. Monthly payment - $4,032 principal and interest. The buyer will pay taxes and insurance, and these are separate from the monthly payment. Term – 60 months. Balloon payment at the end of the term for the remaining balance. Approximate balance at time of payoff - $898,818. Seller will net $1,428,590 for the property over 60 months. The cash-on-cash is greater than 13%. Is 25% down a deal killer?

Big headline: Brookfield is reportedly in advanced talks to buy Yes! Communities from GIC for over $10 billion. If finalized, this would make Brookfield one of the largest—if not the largest—owners of mobile home parks in the U.S. Here’s why this matters for us: I used to work for Brookfield. Back then, I was in portfolio management for our Mobile Home Park Portfolio, so I had a front-row seat to how they think about scale, capital allocation, and risk. To now see them moving to take down Yes! is surreal—it’s a full-circle moment for me. For small and mid-size operators, the lesson is clear: Institutions aren’t slowing down. They’re chasing massive portfolios and are willing to pay premiums for scale. Our edge is agility. While Brookfield’s strategy is financial engineering on a global scale, we can still pick off the fragmented deals, add operational value, and generate returns that compete pound-for-pound. Market signal: When a firm like Brookfield puts $10B into MHPs, it’s confirmation this asset class is here to stay. The largest capital allocators in the world see the same thing we do: manufactured housing is the backbone of affordable housing. Takeaway: This isn’t a sign that “all the good deals are gone.” It’s a sign the big boys are playing in a different arena. Their game is scale. Ours is speed, creativity, and boots-on-the-ground execution.

After more than two years as a real estate entrepreneur and educator, one lesson stands above the rest: the true value lies in the community you build. MHPmatch.com I’ve seen this first-hand with @The MHP Pros . The biggest breakthroughs didn’t just come from our teaching, but from the connections mentees made with each other: 🤝 Partnering on deals 📇 Sharing industry contacts 💡 Helping one another overcome challenges they’d already faced Those relationships transformed both lives and businesses. That’s why I saw an opportunity to take this to the next level—by creating a platform designed to connect all mobile home park professionals under one roof. Imagine: 🏡 MHP owners finding trusted mobile home dealers, mechanics, and movers, 📊 GPs with finance expertise teaming up with operators in the field 🌐 A true ecosystem where everyone in the industry can connect and grow together That vision is what gave birth to MHP Match—and I’m excited to share that it’s officially in Beta Testing! 👉 If you’d like to be an early adopter and help shape this new system, now’s the time to jump in.
