Ep 58058 From Student Loans to Mobile Home Notes with Carl
Welcome back,In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lessons podcast #58 we are talking to active Mobile Home Formula investor, Carl. In a couple short years, Carl has been able to cash-flow individual mobile homes to quit his full-time pharmacy job.Selling a mobile home on payments = Down Payment + Monthly payments for over 60 months.In this short time working together Darryl has become more confident investing in mobile homes, helping others, investing on his own, and growing a profitable investing business.Carl has now transitioned away from his pharmacy career into a full-time mobile home investor and mobile home park investor. His wife is the next one to quit her career.A special thank you to all the guest of this podcast. They will help more people than they know.0:00 Carl’s Mobile Home Journey BeginsJohn opens the interview with a question every investor can relate to: “How did this all start for you?”Carl smiles and admits that just a few years ago, he didn’t even know what a mobile home title looked like. He had been looking for a side hustle that could eventually replace his 9-to-5, and when he stumbled across John’s videos on YouTube, something clicked.“I didn’t have a ton of money or a fancy background,” Carl says. “But I knew I wanted something that gave me control of my time. Mobile homes felt like a way in.”Carl took John’s course, learned how to analyze deals, talk to park managers, and build relationships with sellers. Within a few months, he was knocking on doors, visiting parks, and taking small but steady action.3:40 – The Emotional Rollercoaster of the First Few DealsWhen John asks what those early days were like emotionally, Carl laughs. “I almost quit after my first deal,” he admits.That first transaction was a whirlwind of excitement and stress. The seller backed out twice, the buyer’s financing fell through, and Carl spent nights wondering if he had made a huge mistake.But when the deal finally closed—and he walked away with a large profit—something shifted. “It wasn’t just about the money,” he explains. “It was about proving to myself that I could actually do it.”John nods knowingly. “Every investor remembers that moment when it stops being theory and becomes real.”Use the time markers below to fast forward the podcast above.✔️0:00 Carl’s mobile home journey✔️3:40 Emotional first few deals✔️4:50 Student loans to fund business✔️7:50 Second round of funding✔️13:00 Bigger and bigger deals✔️16:30 Smaller deals VS Bigger deals✔️22:40 4 deals per month✔️30:30 Progress not perfection✔️33:50 Owning self-storage✔️39:30 Top 3 headaches✔️44:45 Evictions are last resort4:50 – Using Student Loans to Fund His BusinessOne of the most surprising parts of the conversation comes when Carl shares how he initially funded his business. “I actually used my student loans,” he says. “I had some leftover funds from college, and instead of spending them on something temporary, I decided to invest them in something that could grow.”John chuckles but also commends Carl for his resourcefulness. “That’s what separates successful investors,” he says. “They find ways to get started, even if it’s unconventional.”Carl emphasizes that it wasn’t about taking reckless risks—it was about believing in himself and betting on his education.7:50 The Second Round of FundingAfter closing a few early deals and reinvesting the profits, Carl hit a wall: he needed more capital to scale. Rather than stopping, he got creative again.“I built a small track record—three successful deals,” he explains. “Then I reached out to friends and family who trusted me and showed them the numbers.”That “second round” of funding allowed him to buy multiple homes at once and renovate them simultaneously. “That’s when I realized this could be more than just a side hustle,” Carl says.John highlights this as a key teaching moment: “You didn’t wait until you were rich to start—you started, and that’s what made you rich.”13:00 Bigger and Bigger DealsWith experience came confidence—and bigger opportunities.Carl started buying double-wides, land-home packages, and homes inside 55+ communities. “The profits were bigger, but so were the challenges,” he notes. “It forced me to think more like a business owner instead of just a hustler.”John points out that this is a natural evolution many investors face: “As you grow, the size of your problems grows, too—but so does your capacity to solve them.”16:30 – Smaller Deals vs. Bigger DealsThe discussion turns to strategy. Should investors chase big deals or stack smaller ones? Carl’s answer is balanced.“I still love the smaller deals,” he says. “They’re quick, simple, and low-risk. But the bigger ones let you scale faster and build credibility.”John agrees, reminding listeners that both have their place. “The small wins pay your bills. The big wins change your future.”22:40 – Four Deals Per MonthAt this point, Carl reveals he’s now consistently doing about four deals a month—a mix of flips and notes.“It didn’t happen ove

Welcome back,In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lessened podcast #56 we are talking to active Mobile Home Formula investors, Michael and Brian. Brian and Mike live and work full-time jobs in Manhattan, and commute to their mobile home investments out-of-state.These 2 guys have been mobile home investing in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland since beginning working with John in 2024. In this short time working together these two investors have closed 7+ mobile home flips for 5-figure paydays.In addition to making money Michael and Brian are learning every step of the way. All this while actually helping local mobile home buyers, mobile home sellers, and mobile home park managers. These two investors are even working directly with and helping local mobile home park owners to fix and fill the park's unwanted vacant mobile homes.Use the time markers below to fast forward the podcast.0:00 Intro0:30 Before mobile homes4:10 Easy or Hard5:00 Deals complete6:10 Problems to overcome8:00 Park manager pro tip9:45 Pushing past the no10:30 How has your marketing changed?12:10 Investing out of state15:10 Hours per week?15:50 First deal stress19:40 Have you ever wanted to quit?21:50 Win-Win deals24:00 2nd deal story31:10 Working with a partner32:40 Corporate VS mom and pop35:45 Advice for your former selvesPushing past the few negative park managers to talk directly with park ownersBrian and Michael do not give up easy. When a door is closed in front of them, they look for a way in through the window. This is no more evident than when a local park manager told them that they were not able to purchase a used mobile home from a seller in the park that was being evicted.These two investors use the LinkedIn, the white pages, and skip tracing tools to track down the mobile home parks regional manager to talk directly with the person in charge. The regional manager welcomed these two investors with open arms.When you know you have a very good deal in front of you, definitely push hard to make it happen. Where there is a will, there usually is a way.Sacrificing the time neededThe time definitely has to come from somewhere. Even if you plan to invest remotely out of state or only focus on wholesaling mobile homes to start, aim to have at least 15 hours set aside per week. Five of the hours can be at night, but the rest need to be during the daytime any day of the week or weekend.Building a safe and thriving business does not happen by accident. It does not happen without focus and weekly commitment. Again, 15 hours a week at minimum. If you have more hours or many more hours than that, then they will definitely be used while you are building your business for the first six months or more. After that more things can be outsourced and delegated out.Getting paid to learnMichael and Brian mentioned this in today’s podcast. They are making money while they are learning to invest in real estate and mobile homes. Brian and Michael are buying mobile homes through tax deed sales, mobile home park managers, online advertising, offline advertising, and more.Besides the monetary gains these guys are making, they are also learning a great deal about people’s skills and dealing with buyers, sellers, managers of communities, handyman, contractors, and more people that we run into on a day-to-day business. If you have not invested in real estate before, be prepared to improve and grow as a person.Mobile home deals rarely fall into our lap without regular work and effort. Expect to work harder for yourself than you do for someone else.Mobile home investing should not be exciting, but rather a predictable, safe, rewarding and profitable business. Moving forward when you have any mobile home related questions please never hesitate to comment or reach out to the email below.Love what you do daily,John [email protected] to Brian, Mike & John's Mobile Home Podcast here...

Welcome back,In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lessons podcast #54 we are talking to active Mobile Home Formula investor, Lyndell. Lyndell has been mobile home investing in the great state of Luisiana since beginning working with John in 2023. In this short time working together Lyndell has become more confident investing in mobile homes, helping others, investing on his own, and growing a profitable investing business.Lyndell has now transitioned into a full-time mobile home investor.Being a newbie stinks! Lyndell has had to overcome mental fears and roadblocks, desires to quit, imposter-syndrome, being laughed at by friends and more, ALL before becoming success flipping mobile homes. Pro Tip: Once you commit to investing in mobile homes and helping others, don’t quit. Keep going.Use the time markers to fast forward today's podcast.✔️0:00 Overview of Lyndell’s MH story✔️7:00 Overcoming shame✔️12:00 First mobile home flip in a park.✔️16:40 Would you invest in this park again?✔️22:00 Moment that changed your investing.✔️25:00 Lyndell’s biggest mobile home deal?✔️26:00 Don’t over fix a mobile home.✔️28:45 Being embarrassed with a mobile home.✔️29:30 Cockroaches in 2nd deal✔️30:00 Working with a “friend”✔️32:00 Awkward mobile home stories.✔️36:40 Partnership pros and cons.✔️39:00 What’s your next steps?✔️41:00 Stolen property✔️42:40 Neighbor’s WIFI to protect your home✔️45:10 3rd mobile home doublewide✔️48:00 Stress due to mover laziness.✔️54:30 Avoid this error to save yourself stress.✔️100:00 Unexpected about mobile home investing?✔️102:30 Advice for mobile home investors.Overcoming doubts. Gaining more confidence.In today’s podcast video Lyndell plays it very cool and is quite confident as we talk together. This is far from how he acted towards mobile homes 1 year ago. When Lyndell began his mobile home investing career in 2023, he was just as new, unsure, and nervous as everyone else. None of us are born mobile home investors, we all have to learn one way or another.Pro Tip: Serious determination, a very good plan, a phone, a vehicle, the willingness to ask questions, and $3,000-$15,000 of investing capital are the only 6 things needed to get started investing safely.Becoming better is only natural. Becoming more confident and learning more about mobile home than over 98% of other people in your local market is a natural byproduct of being an obsessed mobile home investor. When you are actively saturating yourself with mobile home park managers, sellers, buyers, and other investors daily and weekly you are forced to learn and grow.This is a good thing. Very quickly you will be the local mobile home authority in your market.Start making money, then tell your friends you’re investing.It may be human tendency to get excited about future plans and want to share them with friends. This excitement and the rush of dopamine we get dreaming about the future and preemptively patting-ourselves-on-the-back can be addictive. It is easy to get the rush of happiness explaining to your friends everything you will one day accomplish in the future. In these situations, you are getting all of the praise without any of the work.If you're newer it may be beneficial to begin your investing career without telling your friends or family. The one single employee of your company is you. You are the golden goose, and we need to protect your mental and physical energy. Negativity is a real time and motivation killer. Negativity doesn’t want to see you succeed. Negativity wants to see you fail. Don't let this negative force win.Pro Tip: The person that is going to push you the hardest is reading these words right now. You need to be your #1 cheerleader. Your opinion is the only one that matters.Helping others and helping yourselfEvery single mobile home investor is in this business to make a profit. You make profits by solving mobile home park problems and mobile home seller problems.However, we can only make a profit when we continue to run an ethical business that helps others. The more people you help, the more profits you create so, you can advertise and help more people.Until you are better known locally, mobile home deals will rarely fall into our lap without regular work and effort. Expect to work harder for yourself than you do for someone else.Mobile home investing should not be exciting, but rather a predictable, safe, rewarding and profitable.

In the beginning of your mobile home investing career the majority of your time and effort should go towards building your reputation, networking, and specific daily and weekly advertising.Mobile home investing should not be thrilling, but rather a predictable and safe business. If you are taking action regularly then you should absolutely have questions about mobile home investing almost daily.Moving forward when you have any mobile home related questions never hesitate to comment or reach out to the email below.Love what you do daily,John [email protected]

In today’s podcast video we are talking with active Mobile Home Formula investor Megan. Megan has been busting her butt for the past year making a name for herself in the mobile home investing space. Megan is now successfully investing around her state and is well known by other mobile home brokers and park managers statewide. This success did not come by accident, but rather from a specific plan and daily action from Megan.Like almost everyone, when Megan got started investing in mobile homes she had countless questions. Megan and John talked almost daily while building her mobile home investing business.Megan has overcome struggle after struggle in order to achieve her success. She knows she still has a lot more to achieve.A special thank you to Megan for hopping on today’s video to share her business details with others and help other mobile home investors she will likely never meet.Mobile Homes Investing VS. Single Family House InvestingNo one is born a mobile home investor. No one is born a single-family house investor. There are many ways to discover the real estate investing field, however typically investors find themselves gravitating towards 1 niche or another.Like many folks, when Megan heard about mobile home investing through her family, she was skeptical. Actually, Megan admits to rolling her eyes and laughing at the idea of investing in mobile homes. This attitude is extremely common, who wakes up and thinks to themselves “I want to invest in mobile homes today?”After doing more research Megan did the math to realize that mobile homes were just as profitable as single-family homes when it comes to monthly cash flow. Additionally…There are way less mobile home investors compared to single family home investors.There is way less capital needed when investing in mobile homes compare to traditional houses.The risk is much lower in mobile home investing, but serious risk does still exist.Mobile home sellers can be in a real time-crunch to get their mobile homes sold quickly.This year is a great time to sell mobile homes for all cash or monthly payments.When selling mobile homes on monthly payments the cash flow can be very similar to that of site-built houses.Sacrificing Today’s Resources for Her Family’s FutureDo not believe anyone that tells you mobile home investing will make you rich quick.Mobile home investing regularly in deals every month can take 20 to 30 hours each week dedicated to your mobile home investing business. Think you have what it takes?Megan tells of a story about her driving over two hours away from her home to invest in a killer mobile home deal. Megan stayed an additional few hours at the mobile home while the seller packed up and moved out. Megan then had to drive all the way back home late at night. This was done with her kids and newborn baby in the car with her.Megan has put in the time to learn this business, to overcome her fears in order to gain the skills to helped so many local mobile home buyers and sellers in her market.Appreciating What You’ve Accomplished, While Still Always Aiming for Bigger Goals.Outsourcing is what Megan is currently working on growing. Megan’s mobile home business is growing, and she will need to outsource and automate her mobile home investing daily workload in order to scale and continue investing in mobile homes while investing less of her own personal time.Megan is becoming the definition of, working smarter and not harder.In today’s podcast you can watch Megan as she discusses her attitude about her recent successes. As we become more and more successful, the goalpost keeps moving further and further back. This is normal and a very healthy sign your business is growing. As we accomplish one goal another pops up! Megan is also appreciating where she has come from and the success she currently has.Megan admits to doing bigger and bigger deals that she never dreamed were possible. Achieving her goals is a direct reflection of the time and commitment Megan has put in to learning this business, partnering with the right mentors, and taking daily action even though she is scared at times.Megan has no intention of slowing down anytime soon!In conclusion, mobile home investing takes hard work and typically daily effort to make a consistent name for yourself and help multiple buyers and sellers monthly. You will never learn everything you need to know about real estate investing from reading books or watching videos. While there are many ways to make money in real estate, there are countless ways to lose profits as well. Have fun and take daily action to reach your financial goals sooner rather than later. If you have questions, please ask them. There are plenty of active investors around to give you help and guidance if you simply ask for it.
Ep 47047 Ethical Mobile Home Investing for Success with Tonya and Anthony
In today’s mobile home investing lessons podcast you are in for a treat. I’m so proud of these two investors. They are such great examples of running a successful mobile home investing business with a spouse. Tonya and Anthony have been happily married for decades. They’re now busy full-time mobile home investors that started investing just a few years ago.In a short period of time Anthony and Tonya have proven themselves as trustworthy and life-changing investors/brokers for the mobile home buyers and sellers they work with.Mobile home investing requires determination. Success requires determination. Determination is not something that can be taught. You either have it or you don’t.

Before the riches comes education and helping many people for free.Becoming a Mobile Home Licensed Broker or DealerAlmost every state requires an individual to become “licensed” when more than a certain number of mobile homes purchased and resold within a year. Or if an individual is acting as a personal property realtor between mobile home buyer and mobile home seller for a profit. Both these scenarios may fall under a mobile home dealers/retailers license or a mobile home broker’s license.Not every unlicensed investor is ethical, unethical, knowledgeable, or unknowledgeable. Same goes for licensed investors who are not always ethical into are not always knowledgeable. It is important for each one of us to become educated and make sure we set our buyers and sellers up for success.Winning Requires DeterminationAs you listen to today’s podcast it is easy to hear how Tonya and Anthony could have quit at any moment in the past. These two investors support one another and love one another whether any deals fail or succeed.Today’s podcast shows example after example of Anthony and Tonya remaining persistent and focused towards achieving their goals. Success does not care if you are excited, feeling positive, or feeling negative. Success only requires that you do the work.
Ep 46046 Best Friends Close 70 Mobile Home Deals Quickly with John and Ian
In today’s 33-minute Mobile Home Investing Lessons podcast episode #46 we sit down with active Mobile Home Formula members Ian and Daniel. The two best friends have helped dozens and dozens of mobile home sellers and buyers in their short time investing.Over 70+ mobile homes bought and sold, or wholesaled, in just over three years. This averages out to 2 mobile homes purchased and resold each month, for 36 months straight.These investors are not geniuses, but they are hard-working, ambitious, dedicated, and ethical friends that do not have to work a 9-to-5 job anymore. Listen to what these two investors have to say.A special thank you and shout out to Ian and Daniel for hopping on today’s call. Hopefully their sacrifices will now go on to help you grow your mobile home flipping business.In today’s mobile home investing podcast #46, John, Ian, and Dan gossip about…0:00 Introduction0:45 What are you willing to sacrifice?1:30 How much cash did you have to start?3:15 Cash or Cash-flow for you?5:15 Tips partnering with a best friend.8:40 Work life balance tips.12:05 Deals out in the middle-of-nowhere.15:00 What does an average deal look like? 16:20 Do you need a sales lot?18:10 Do you think your age matters?18:50 Do you have a boss?21:50 Discrimination24:30 Providing value over price to seller.27:00 Setting correct expectations.28:40 Taking 6 months to close?29:00 Hours you put into your deals.31:20 What’s been one of your simplest deals?#1 SacrificingHelping others and growing a business requires you to make regular sacrifices. We all intuitively know this and understand that growing anything substantial will take time, effort, and some capital. However, until you have traveled the journey yourself, either by yourself or with the help of a partner, it will only be something you have heard about secondhand.Ways to help your business:Vision boards: Cheesy or not, they help when you see them multiple times per day.Hang around other like-minded investors. Join one or multiple real estate investor clubs nearby. Perhaps start your own.If you’re willing to sacrifice for the next five years will be able to do amazing things. Keep in mind that you should be achieving profitable deals right out of the gate.As you watch and listen to Ian and Daniel’s podcast you will hear the sacrifices, they make to be accountable to themselves, each other, and their business.SACRIFICE your TIME hanging out with friends IN ORDER to meet with park managers and other mobile home sellers to build your successful business.SACRIFICE your EGO IN ORDER to be a beginner and begin to master something new.SACRIFICE your ENERGY and personal time IN ORDER to guerrilla market your business and service to build your successful business.SACRIFICE your FAMILY time IN ORDER to close with buyers or sellers and build your successful business.SACRIFICE some PROFIT IN ORDER to keep the deal moving forward and make the seller happy.Everyone that you see who is successfully investing in multiple mobile home properties is making constant sacrifices. Keep in mind that the sacrifices are definitely a good thing… No pity is deserved here. If you are reading these words and are not yet a active mobile home investor, then you have more sacrificing to do. We all do.#2 Multiple purchase strategies to help most mobile home sellers.Having multiple strategies to help each mobile home seller is something we talk about on this website often. Mobile home sellers often times have various and/or complicated issues going on. Depending on the different moving pieces, your purchase offer and/or exit strategy will likely vary.Purchase strategies when…the mobile home has a title problem, then…the mobile home needs to be removed ASAP, then…the mobile home’s lien must be paid off prior to closing, then…you are starting with limited capital, but you still want to close big deals, then…the mobile home park manager does not like you, then…the mobile home needs way more repairs than you are comfortable with, then…the mobile home seller is out-of-state, then…the entire mobile home is in another state, then…the mobile home also includes land and an underlying mortgage, then…it’s the winter months but there seems to be a very good opportunity, then…the mobile home is in a park location you are not familiar with, then…the mobile home neighbors are terrible neighbors, then…the mobile home seller does not need all their money up front may consider payments, then…you temporarily don’t have the knowledge or resources to know what to do, then…Depending on the scenario, have a way to help each seller and never spend any more money than needed.It can absolutely be scary out there for a newer mobile home investor. Aim to educate yourself with websites like this one, and other free blogs, vlogs, and podcasts talking about investing in real estate or flipping mobile homes. Ideally every mobile home question you have should get an answer. Make sure you have people to ask your investing questions too.

Ep 44044 Own a Successful Mobile Home Dealership on a Budget with Doug and John
In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lessons podcast #44 we’re talking with active mobile home investor Doug. Doug has been an active mobile home investor in the state of Texas for over two years. Doug can now add to his title, Mobile Home Dealership Owner and operator.It’s been incredible to watch Doug bust-his-butt and grow his mobile home investing knowledge, returns, reputation, and now his own used mobile home dealership.Watch today’s podcast and discover…How to start your own used mobile home dealership?How to end things the right way with the wrong business partner?How to build an ethical and successful mobile home investing Empire?Disclaimer: Most investors can be wildly successful without ever building a mobile home dealership.Now it’s a family business!Doug was able to retire his wife from her full-time career. Now she works in the family business at the mobile home dealership lot when needed. It certainly does not hurt that Doug’s wife is bilingual and just as hard of a worker as Doug.Doug’s team members included:Mobile home moving companies: Doug outsources this task to different third-party mobile home moving companies he likes and trusts.Rehab crew: Paid for and maintained by Doug.Office manager: This role is filled with Doug’s wife. Overseeing day-to-day management of the dealership and more.Sales agent: A young go-getter handling office duties, showing properties, closing paperwork, due diligence, and more. This agent is licensed and working underneath Doug as a mobile home sales agent.Since this is now a family business, Doug lets his payment-buyers know that they will be dealing with him moving forward. Doug lets his payment-buyers know he is careful with his money, checks backgrounds carefully, and wants to make sure payment-buyers have the ability to repay for the home. If the payment-buyers do not pay, then he will be taking action and quickly repossessing the property.Pro Tip: Doug gives a ton of great tips throughout the video. However, it may be wise for you to not follow this specific advice about disclosing that you are the business owner. It can be very helpful for you to appear to work with a company. This way you don’t have to be the top dog ultimate decision-maker. This way you can be the “good cop” while the projected company remains the “bad cop”.Doug’s Business ModelsDoug does part of his mobile home investing business inside other people’s local pre-existing mobile home parks. Doug also does many mobile homes transactions when the home must-be-removed from current land. Doug pays for the mobile home and the transportation costs back to his dealership.In today’s video Doug talks about his three strategies once the mobile homes get to the dealer’s lot:Doug pays his full-time rehab crew to rehab the mobile home to rent-ready type of standards.Doug resells the mobile homes As-Is without putting any money into the property.The as-is mobile homes are shown to buyers. Some of these future payment-buyers agree to prepay for all the repairs to be completed by Doug. In this way Doug will not have to pay out-of-pocket to have his rehab crew do the work.Pro Tip: You can resell quickly if you resell for below-retail prices. Doug was taught to buy mobile homes at really good prices. Doug resells at competitive prices and therefore has multiple qualified buyers to choose from.Doug says, “Homeruns are awesome, but you make your money in doubles and singles.”Doug is reselling more than 50% of his used mobile homes on monthly payments that are moved to the buyer’s own land. That is right!… Doug is reselling the mobile home and having the buyer pay for the transportation and set up costs to the buyer’s very own land. Land with electric, water, sewer or septic and ready for a manufactured home.Typically, Doug aims to receive all his invested money back Day #1. Remember payment-buyers pay a nonrefundable fee to Move-In that may equal $5000-$10,000 or more depending on the manufactured home and location. Doug then creates a note for another 7 to 10 years of cash flowing payments with interest.Once a mobile home is sold for cash or payments, Doug gives the new buyer 30 days to remove the mobile home at the buyer’s own expense.Doug’s interesting transportation twist: Doug knows that when a mobile home travels down a bumpy road the inside of the home may shift or break. Cosmetic cracks and blemishes develop in the walls, ceiling, and tiles along the mobile home’s journey into its new location.Doug tells every mobile home buyer on his sales lot that these cosmetic cracks and blemishes may develop. If the buyer decides to use a third-party mobile home mover, then the buyer alone will be responsible for any cracks and blemishes. However, if the buyer decides to purchase the moving costs through Doug, he will make sure the mobile home looks the same as it is on the sales lot.How can Doug guarantee he will fix the repairs? Because Doug charges the buyer extra money on top of the moving cost. Example: It may
Ep 43043 Juggling 6 Mobile Home Wholesale Deals at Once with John and Caleb
In today’s 34-minute Mobile Home Investing Podcast episode #43 we sit down with a very active mobile home investor involved in multiple deals in any one given time. Best part is that Caleb usually has little to no money invested into many of his deals. Sometimes Caleb purchases the mobile homes, however many times the end-buyer brings the cash money to pay the mobile home seller.I’m very honored and so proud to introduce this North Carolina based active Mobile Home Formula investor, Caleb to the co-hosting microphone. This guy is one of the most easy-going people I’ve met. Listen to Caleb’s story below and tell me if you agree.Caleb is a mobile home investor that stays persistent, puts in some work most days of the week, ask questions regularly, and overcomes most obstacles in his way. Plus, he does this all while raising a son, operating his own mattress store, traveling some, and struggling with all of the normal fears that the rest of us have on a regular basis.We talk about this and so much more on today’s podcast below.Any mobile home related questions please comment below or email me directly at the email provided below.Special thanks to Caleb for coming on today’s podcast! Thanks for giving so much back already and being willing to help investors he’ll likely never meet.Persistence, Ability to follow directions, and Ethics | Mobile Home InvestingIf I had to choose 3 ideal traits that Caleb possesses that makes him a successful mobile home investor, the 3 mobile home investor traits are persistence, the ability to take action when directed, and high ethics to not chase the dollar bills when it comes to burning bridges.Persistence: Caleb could have given up 1,000’s of times. Building a sizable business, from nothing, takes a tremendous amount of persistence overcoming all of the no’s and hurdles.Follow directions: Try not to reinvent the wheel in the beginning, especially if you already have a working wheel. On this website learn how to inspect mobile homes and which mobile home repairs are deal breakers.Ethics: A big mistake many newer manufactured home investors make is not thinking long term. Many investors take shortcuts and burn bridges with sellers, park owners, managers, and more. Whether accidently or on purpose. This is a small investing-world and bad news travels quickly.Caleb’s subniche in mobile home investing, is flipping and wholesaling mobile homes that “must be moved.Caleb’s trick, he never moves them himself.The landowner’s problem: An unwanted mobile home on the landowner’s property. Perhaps this landowner wants to upgrade their current mobile home to a newer model. Perhaps the land was recently purchased or inherited, and the mobile home is simply an unwanted eyesore. Perhaps the mobile home was being rented out by the landowner which also lives in a separate house on the property. Perhaps the landowner is a mobile home park that is looking to remove all of the mobile homes from the 1980s from their community. In all of these situations there is an unwanted mobile home that needs to go.Underground world of mobile home buyers with land: There are a lot of landowners looking to save money on a good-looking used manufactured home. When landowners are looking to buy a mobile home for their land, they may want a two-bedroom or three-bedroom that is safe and looks good. Instead of paying $100,000+ for a new manufactured home, many landowners would prefer to pay you $20,000, $30,000, or $50,000 for a nice used unit. Even $4,500 if the mobile home needs total rehab. All of this is concerning mobile homes that must be removed from these landowners’ land.The problem solver: You. You are the one that can purchase the mobile home and remove the mobile home. Or, like Caleb does, resell the home to a cash buyer that will move the manufactured home to their own land. This way Caleb never moves the home. In over 20+ mobile home flips and mobile home wholesales Caleb has never moved a mobile home himself.This need for sellers to get rid of their unwanted mobile homes that must-be-removed from their land happens across the United States. Every state there are sellers and buyers.It is not a question if these must be removed mobile home sellers exist, it is a question if they will know who you are and how you can help them. Make it easy for mobile home sellers to connect with you.In today’s mobile home investing podcast #43, we cover:0:00 Caleb getting started.2:20 Other real estate experience?3:40 Wholesales only baby!5:00 Who are your buyers?11:20 6 mobiles under contract at once12:10 Money into the deals?16:10 Least and most profitable deals25:40 Hours per week?28:35 Motivation for other mobile home investors30:05 Do the thang!30:33 Working together with John
