    Housing feels out of reach for millions, yet investors still need reliable cash flow and a clear path to growth. We unpack why mobile home parks might be the rare overlap—meeting a real social need while offering durable returns backed by data, not hype. From more than 44,000 parks across the U.S. to a 15% jump in manufactured home shipments this year, the momentum is real, and the playbook is surprisingly approachable.

    We start with the numbers: where cap rates for multifamily often land in the 5–6% range, mobile home parks routinely deliver 7–10%, driven by low turnover and affordable lot rents. We talk through the states that make scaling easier (hello, Texas and the Sunbelt), why zoning and rent policy matter, and how to evaluate community types—from 55+ to all-ages—so your strategy fits resident needs. Then we get tactical with a starter blueprint: target 20–50 lots, verify city water and sewer when possible, inspect road conditions, check occupancy, and watch out for red flags like vacant pads or aging septic. Strong communication with residents remains the quiet edge that keeps income stable and reputations strong.

    The conversation widens to affordability, demographics, and financing options for first-time buyers choosing manufactured homes to escape rising costs. We also address foreclosures, courthouse auctions, and creative finance like subject-to—tools that can preserve ownership or unlock opportunities when used responsibly. Layer in smart tax strategy, a clear personal why, and the patience to operate well, and you’ve got a resilient path in a market that rewards consistency over flash.

  • Unlocking Hidden Deals: The Power of Pre-Probate Prospecting -Featuring Micah Nicholes
    Oct 13 2025

    What if your best deals live where most investors won’t look? We sit down with Micah Nichols of US Lead List to unpack the quiet power of pre‑probate and inheritance leads—data‑driven, time‑sensitive opportunities that reward empathy as much as execution. Micah takes us inside his system: seven data sources stitched into a monthly national list, segmentation that prioritizes the highest‑value sellers, and a humane approach that opens doors without crossing lines.

    We dig into the nuts and bolts of making this niche work in today’s market. Micah explains why surviving spouses and small landlords with multiple properties respond differently, how to craft first‑touch letters that spark curiosity instead of resistance, and where AI truly helps—cleaning messy records, enriching contacts, and triaging replies—before handing off to a real human at the moment trust is on the line. He also gets candid about a brutal six‑figure loss from a flooded flip and a lapsed insurance policy, a hard reminder that operational details decide outcomes.

    If you’ve wondered whether direct mail still converts, how to scale cold calling without grinding yourself down, or how to serve heirs with real care while protecting your margins, this conversation is a field guide. You’ll leave with concrete steps: segment your inheritance list, build a gentle mail cadence, outsource first dials, track additional‑property owners, and tighten underwriting with multiple exits ready.
