Investing Secrets: Invest like the Top 0.1%

Today, I welcome Daniel Linh and Ali Nasir to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Daniel and Ali are the co-founders of RiseComm, a real estate investment firm specializing in manufactured home communities, and today they share how they’re building a competitive edge in one of the most misunderstood yet profitable asset classes in commercial real estate. Ali brings over 40 years of experience in the mobile home park industry, having grown up in the business, while Daniel brings a modern investor’s perspective on scaling operations, raising capital, and creating vertically integrated efficiencies.

They break down how their team is using value-add strategies to drive returns - including bringing in new manufactured homes, improving occupancy rates, and structuring creative seller-financing models that benefit both investors and residents. Daniel and Ali also explain how their vertically integrated model - combining community ownership, property management, and a licensed dealer arm - allows them to buy homes wholesale, sell retail, and unlock multiple layers of profit inside each community.

Later, they discuss the macro trends shaping the future of the manufactured housing industry, from rising institutional interest and market consolidation to the growing demand for affordable housing nationwide. Despite increased competition, they see institutional capital as a net positive - accelerating legitimacy and liquidity in a sector still ripe with opportunity for skilled operators.

With decades of combined experience and a clear strategy for bridging the gap between mom-and-pop owners and institutional buyers, Daniel and Ali reveal why manufactured housing remains one of the most resilient, cash-flowing, and undervalued asset classes in America.

Today, I welcome Julie Holly to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Julie is a seasoned real estate investor, podcast host, and high-performance coach who began her career as a public school teacher before transitioning into residential and ultimately commercial real estate. Over more than a decade, she’s built a diverse portfolio spanning multifamily, assisted living, and development projects - while helping countless investors and entrepreneurs break through the mental barriers that hold them back from true freedom.

In this episode, Julie opens up about the highs and lows of her investing journey, including the painful experience of uncovering misappropriated funds in a multifamily partnership - and how that moment led to her biggest personal and professional transformation. She shares how she learned to realign her investments with her values, rebuild confidence, and prioritize fulfillment over external success.

Julie also reveals why so many investors chase “freedom” only to find themselves trapped in stress and overwork, and how recalibration - not quitting - is often the real answer. Through her “cocoon” philosophy, she explains the process of shedding old identities, rediscovering purpose, and creating a more intentional path forward in business and life.

With her trademark honesty and insight, Julie shows how self-awareness and emotional mastery are the ultimate keys to long-term success - not just in real estate, but in every area of life.

Today, I welcome Jonathan Tuttle to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jonathan is the COO of Land Play, a flex office space development fund focused on capitalizing on the undersupply of flex industrial assets across high-growth U.S. markets. He’s best known for his success and thought leadership in the mobile home park investment space - where he built a national following and reputation as one of the industry’s top voices - but today, he shares why he’s pivoting from manufactured housing into flex space development and data center conversions.

Jonathan breaks down the macro and micro trends driving demand for flex industrial: rapid population growth in Texas, a surge in small business formation, and the need for hybrid warehouse-office solutions for trades, e-commerce, and service-based industries. He also explains how Land Play’s modular, pre-fabricated development model allows for rapid deployment and superior returns in undersupplied markets - while avoiding costly sprinkler systems, water taps, and long permitting timelines.

We then explore why Jonathan’s transition from mobile home parks to flex space represents a broader shift from “old-school specialization” to a new era of opportunistic investing - where adaptability, speed, and timing create the edge. He also touches on his long-term play in office-to-data-center conversions, the rise of AI-driven infrastructure demand, and how his team is positioning for the next wave of real estate innovation.

With nearly two decades in real estate and a proven track record across multiple asset classes, Jonathan offers a masterclass in spotting macro shifts before they go mainstream. His story is a powerful reminder that in today’s market, agility is the new edge.

Today, I welcome Gian Pazzia to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Gian is the Co-Founder of KBKG, one of the largest cost segregation firms in the United States, and today he breaks down how real estate investors use cost segregation and depreciation to dramatically reduce - and in many cases, eliminate - their taxable income. He explains how cost segregation works, why it’s one of the most powerful yet underutilized tools in real estate investing, and how high-net-worth investors and institutional funds leverage it to accelerate deductions and maximize cash flow.

Gian also dives into bonus depreciation, recapture, and the 1031 exchange - showing how the most sophisticated investors use these tools together to defer taxes indefinitely. Later, he reveals how short-term rental owners can tap into the “short-term rental loophole” to offset ordinary income, and how residential investors can now access cost segregation studies at a fraction of the cost through his firm’s software.

With over 25 years of experience serving some of the nation’s largest real estate owners, Gian demystifies complex tax strategies in a way that any investor can understand and apply. Whether you own a single rental or a large commercial portfolio, this episode will open your eyes to the hidden tax advantages that separate the amateurs from the pros.

Today, I welcome Patrick Grimes to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Patrick is the founder of Passive Investing Mastery and has devoted his career to educating W2 professionals on alternative investment strategies outside of Wall Street. After losing it all during the 2008–2009 recession, Patrick rebuilt his portfolio from the ground up, eventually transitioning out of his full-time engineering career into a life of investing and educating others.

In this episode, Patrick shares the critical lessons he learned from his early mistakes and why he believes non-correlated, recession-resilient investments are the smartest way to build long-term wealth in 2025 and beyond. He explains how most Americans are still brainwashed into believing stocks and bonds are the only way, while the wealthy have long used alternatives like real estate, oil and gas, private credit, and even litigation finance to diversify and protect their wealth. Patrick dives into these niche strategies - including litigation finance, a little-known but powerful asset class that funds contingency legal cases for a share of the profits.

With candor and humility, Patrick reveals how he turned failure into a blueprint for success and why diversification into truly non-correlated investments is the antidote to fear of the next market downturn. Whether you’re just starting your investment journey or looking for advanced strategies to recession-proof your portfolio, Patrick’s story and insights offer valuable lessons for every investor.
