he walked away from $400k to run mobile home parks

18d • Wins!

John Kaufmann was sitting behind home plate at Yankee Stadium with clients when he realized he'd made a terrible mistake.

Not about his career. He was crushing it.

Big Law tax attorney.

$400,000 a year.

Expense account.

VIP everything.

The kind of job that makes your parents beam when someone asks what you do.

The mistake was thinking any of that would make him happy.

For twenty years, John played the game. He sent memos into the void, played office politics, and was on call 24/7. He was miserable, but hey, at least he was miserable in expensive suits.

Then in 1999, he bought a two-family house in Brooklyn. Lived downstairs, rented the upstairs. And something clicked.

When he painted a wall or fixed a pipe, he could see the result immediately. No endless email chains. No apple-polishing. Just work that meant something tangible.

Here's where it gets interesting.

In 2013, still grinding in Big Law, John bought his first mobile home park in central New York. He'll tell you straight up - it wasn't some noble calling. He read that mobile home parks have high returns on investment and thought "maybe this is my way out."

By 2015, he bought park number two. By 2019, he left law entirely.

His law school diploma? Somewhere in storage. He's not sure where exactly, and he doesn't really care.

John is happier now. He learns constantly. And he actually likes what he does.

That's the part nobody talks about when they're selling you the "financial freedom" dream. It's not just about the money - though mobile home parks absolutely cash flow. It's about doing work that doesn't drain your soul.

John didn't need some secret advantage to make this work. He just needed to understand how mobile home parks operate, how to find good deals, and how to manage them properly.

That's exactly what we teach inside The MHP Pros Mastermind & we are running the biggest sale of the year for November.

We've worked with lawyers, engineers, teachers, analysts—people stuck in high-paying jobs they hate and people in okay jobs who just want something more. The common thread? They all started where you are right now.

Wondering if this could actually work. Wondering if they have what it takes. Wondering if the timing is right.

The timing is never perfect. But the opportunity is real.

If you want to learn:

- How to find off-market deals that big investors overlook

- How to analyze parks without drowning in spreadsheets

- How to structure deals even if you don't have a pile of cash sitting around

- How to manage properties without it taking over your entire life

This isn't theory from someone who read a book once. This is the real playbook we've used to help almost a hundred people transition from jobs they tolerate to businesses they actually want to run.
