Join me as I sit down with returning guest Derek Vickers, a former insurance sales leader turned full-time mobile home park investor, operator, and educator. After years of building a high-performing insurance agency—with no equity to show for it—Derek had a wake-up call: real wealth doesn’t come from commissions, it comes from owning assets. That revelation launched him into the world of real estate, where he built Vicktory Real Estate Group from the ground up and now owns over 2,000 units across 41 mobile home parks. Based in Florida and operating nationwide, Derek and his team are passionate about reviving rundown parks, building safe and affordable housing, and helping business owners escape the hamster wheel by investing in cash-flowing real estate.

Derek and I discuss:

• Transforming rundown parks into safe communities.
• How mentorship plays a significant role in navigating entrepreneurship.
• The importance of stabilization before expansion.
• Property management challenges, systems, and operations for excellence.
• How to overcome limiting beliefs in real estate investment.
• The launching of his VC Equity Fund and how funds can allow for more flexibility.
• Expanding to new markets.
• Strong management structures for operational success.
• Communicating with and holding property managers accountable.
• Raising capital and managing portfolios. 
• The complexities of mobile home park operations.
