How to buy a Mobile Home Park
In our "How to Buy a Mobile Home Park" series, you will learn what it takes to make a good investment decision, and how to find the mobile home parks that best meet these investment objectives.
If you believe that you make or lose money in real estate on the front end, when you decide to buy, as we do, then your mastery of this skill is essential to profitability.
Like all of Frank and Dave's products, every idea has been tested over and over again in real life -- not just academic theory. We will tell you what works and what doesn't, filled with examples of what happened when we tried it.
- Learn the deal-killers that you should avoid at all costs.
- Learn how to value a mobile home park.
- Find out the essential dynamics of the proper use of park-owned rental homes.
- Structure your deals to minimize risk.
- Learn how to mitigate significant problems when they pop up.
With this series you will learn how to build a professional-grade mobile home park acquisition assembly line, where you will be looking at fresh deals on a consistent basis.
And, as with all Frank & Dave products, you will hear nothing but reality -- no glossing over important, but not always happy, issues. Frank & Dave tell it like it is, and in so doing, take your understanding of the Mobile Home Park investment class from 0 to 60 in a very short amount of time.
