This episode is different. We sat down with Ali, a manufactured housing veteran whose family has been in real estate for eight generations, going all the way back to land banking in India. He bought his first mobile home park at age 10 in 1981 during the last Iran oil crisis when mortgage rates hit 20 percent and has never looked back. We get into what multiple economic cycles actually teach you, why he still invests exclusively in California when everyone else has left, the creative deal structures you need to know right now, and a brand new co-op ownership model he is experimenting with that could change how communities get bought and sold. This is decades of hard earned wisdom in one conversation. 🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Cash Flow Quest! ⏱️ Timestamps TimeTopic 0:00Cold open — 20% mortgage rates, PTSD and the origin story 0:29Welcome Ali — 8 generations in real estate 2:22From ancient bazaars in India to California mobile home parks 4:00The 1981 crash — Iran, oil crisis and losing 120 homes 5:25Buying the first RV park and becoming Joe 6:30The pivot from seasonal RV to permanent manufactured housing 8:52What multiple economic cycles actually teach you 10:37Why down cycles are opportunities in this asset class 14:26The buy box — secondary markets, 3 to 25 million, 100 units minimum 18:34Why Ali still invests in California when everyone else has left 22:45Rent control, insurance risk and the real California math 27:07The co-op model experiment — selling communities to residents 33:18The BTR model applied to manufactured housing 36:48Creative deal structures you need to know right now 39:55The infill playbook — going from 55 to 95 percent occupancy 45:08Why the family office pivoted and Rise 360 Ventures was born 47:40Building a fund from two investors to a team of 20 49:259 generations deep and still building Find Us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cfq_podcast?igsh=YXRhdmhjcm5tMmJ2&utm_source=qr Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cashflowquestpodcast?_r=1&_t=ZP-9330jK0GDF8 Learn more about Mobile Home Parks https://comfortcapital.com Guest: "ALI" NASIR ALI https://rise360ventures.com LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/ali-rise360ventures?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios Hosts: Blake Comfort: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blakewcomfort?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr - Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cashflowquestpodcast?_r=1&_t=ZP-9331Bjbg2d5 - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565057335048&mibextid=wwXIfr - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blakecomfort?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Jennifer Purcell - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jc_purcell?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-purcell-59a1bb77?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Tide Eldridge - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inwiththetide?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tide-eldridge-7447bb7a?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app #CashFlowQuest #MobileHomePark #ManufacturedHousing #RealEstateInvesting #PassiveIncome #MobileHomeParkInvesting #CaliforniaRealEstate #AffordableHousing #RealEstatePodcast #WealthBuilding #CashFlow #RealEstateInvestor #LandlordLife #RealEstateSyndication #MultiGenerationalWealth #FamilyOffice #ValueAddRealEstate #HousingCrisis #InvestingTips #FinancialFreedom
