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 Paul Moore of Wellings Capital. Andrew and Paul talk about the important lessons that Paul has learned from the days when he was just a “spectator” to now where he has really become a true “investor”, and what that really means. They also talk about the Wellings Capital funds, his multi-family investing book: “The Perfect Investment”, and his tips for helping passive investors interested in mobile home parks.
