Welcome back to the Passive Mobile Home Park Investing Podcast, hosted by Andrew Keel. On this episode of the Passive Mobile Home Park Investing Podcast, Andrew talks with Ryan Narus, a double graduate of Wake Forest University with an undergrad in Psychology & Statistics and an MBA. He is a self made real estate entrepreneur who owns and operates 14 Mobile Home Parks spanning ~1,408 units.
