This week on the podcast, we're throwing it back to an absolute classic conversation with Jimmy Johnson, CEO and Founder of Sand Dollar Communities. Jimmy breaks down his journey from having $600 in his bank account to closing 73 mobile home park deals in just 5 years. We dive into his unconventional strategies, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and why going door-to-door still works in 2025. Plus, some seller stories that'll make your jaw drop.

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Jimmy's entrepreneurial beginnings - taking $10 photos of foreclosure houses
  • How he narrowed down to mobile home parks through process of elimination
  • Living with grandparents and borrowing earnest money for his first deal
  • The $30K first wholesale that proved the model
  • Why he goes door-to-door at every single acquisition
  • Managing 2,000+ units across small towns with $25/month managers
  • The craziest seller stories you've ever heard
  • His biggest regret: being too picky in 2019 when deals were "insane"
  • Why small town parks are goldmines nobody wants
  • The one thing that separates closers from talkers
  • Jimmy's advice: stop overthinking and just do something
  • If you're tired of analysis paralysis and ready to see what real execution looks like, this throwback episode is exactly what you need.
