The Agent of Wealth

Inside Mobile Home Park Investing With Leo Young


Listen Later

Affordable housing. Durable cash flow. And an asset class that historically outperformed during recessions.

In this episode of The Agent of Wealth, co-host John Williams is joined by Leo Young, Founder and Managing Partner of Cornell Communities, a real estate investment firm focused on acquiring and operating manufactured housing communities across the United States.

With experience spanning more than $75 million in transactions — and a career path that includes working at Tesla and on the acquisitions team of a $4.5 billion private equity fund — Leo shares why he chose a niche many investors overlook: mobile home parks. He explains how this asset class blends affordability, impact and strong risk-adjusted returns, and why it may deserve a closer look in today’s volatile market.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why manufactured housing communities often perform well during recessions.
  • How the business model works.
  • What makes this asset class attractive for passive investors.
  • How Leo’s background as a first-generation immigrant shaped his money beliefs, risk tolerance and entrepreneurial drive.
  • And more!

Tune in for a deep dive into the economics of manufactured housing, insights on private equity-style real estate investing, and a powerful conversation about resilience, opportunity and building wealth with purpose.
