Episode 12 with Damian Bergamaschi

“Mobile home parks are a really special asset class within real estate for this one reason. They're kind of a walled garden. So basically, the concept is that you just could buy a bad house, but it has to be in a good neighborhood. And with a mobile home park, you can actually improve the neighborhoods. You kind of break the rule of real estate, ‘location, location, location,’ a little bit. Not… not to the fullest, it's gray. But it can shift a little bit.”

Join Glenn as he interviews Damian Bergamaschi, a data-driven real estate investor based in South Carolina. Damian began working at the age of 12 in a comic bookstore. After some important financial realizations in his teenage years, he studied business and finance in college.
