Sometimes the best path to wealth doesn’t start with money — it starts with mindset.

I was working at UPS when I realized I wanted out.
I picked up a real estate book… and never put it down.

That moment turned into 16+ years of deal-making, equity building, and buying mobile home parks no one else wanted.

In this episode with Gabe Petersen, I walk through how I went from flipping a park with $1,200… to building a multi-state portfolio through off-market deals, seller financing, and forced appreciation.

We talk numbers. Strategy. Mailer response rates.
And how one park added $2.5M to my net worth in a few years.

If you think mobile home parks are just “trailer parks,” think again.

This is how wealth is built — one problem-solving deal at a time.

Smart investors are already in.
You just haven’t heard their playbook. Until now.
