Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #109 that originally aired on March 26, 2019. Host Kevin Bupp is joined by Jethro van Aardt, the Director of Operations at Sunrise Capital Investors, and they break down the many moving parts and processes of due diligence--from kick off to title transfer. Due diligence is one of the most critical aspects to master when diving into the niche of mobile home park investing. It has its own unique set of nuances and to be aware of, as well as opportunities and usual skeletons in the closet to watch out for. Quotes: "Due diligence process, it's a pretty thorough process and a lot of sellers often get intimidated by it. They're worried that you're going to uncover something and it's going to completely throw the deal out so they get kind of secretive, which is pretty strange. It's counter-intuitive."  "The offsite phase is critical. We need to know that we have the exact information. For example, simple things like the exact address of the property, the exact pad count, how many homes are abandoned, how many homes are resident-owned, how many homes are rented by tenants, etc etc. So it's verifying a lot of information." "DD is really just a long checklist and it's following that checklist and obviously you start off with the most critical things and, if you can get through those critical things from the top to the bottom, then you reassess and understand do you move forward or not."  "Sometimes these places look really nice from the outside. When you get inside, they're in really bad shape. You need to understand the quality of the resident base. If anybody is prepared to live on the floors, you know that person's not paying the rent and they're probably going to skip the town in the middle of the night."  "Unfortunately that's one of the painful things sometimes is that you can do all that prep work and offsite, think that you've covered everything but there's still going to be skeletons and that's why the onsite is so crucial."

FBF #729: Discover the Proven Scientific Methods of a Master Real Estate Negotiator

Todays episode is from Mobile Home Park #106 that originally aired on March 5, 2019. In this episode of The Mobile Home Park Investing Podcast, Kevin Bupp hops on a call with real estate expert Matt Ricciardella, managing member of Crystal View Capital, a private investment firm with a focus on value add real estate. Since its inception in 2014, the firm has raised almost $17 million of equity capital and has approximately $60 million in assets under management with a specialized focus on manufactured housing and self-storage asset classes. Matt also goes into fine detail about recent successful projects and how his company manages all the different asset classes they handle from across the US.  Quotes: "In my hunt for finding deals that would yield the best cash flow, I kinda came across mobile home parks and self-storage as the key assets that I wanted to focus on since those properties yielded the highest free cash flow out of all commercial real estate classes that I came across and underwrote."  "These opportunities are available to all of us. You've got to dig--especially now you've got to dig even harder--and then you've got to have the wherewithal to recognize that there is that untapped, hidden value." "Once you've added value and you've maximized that value, it's time to look to exit." "Through the years, we've been kicked down the street and that's the only way I think we've learned and we've learned from our mistakes and as a result we've implemented some of these strategies that has made us successful managers of mobile home communities." "The best thing I can tell you is to take action. Go out there, make it happen, start looking at opportunities, get educated."   ☑️ Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our investment opportunity by visiting www.SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Self DirectedIRA Investment Opportunity–Click Here: https://www.advantaira.com/partners/s... To Learn More About How You CanInvest With Us Through Your SDIRA Accredited Investors Click Here: https://sunrisecapitalinvestors.com/ to learn more about partnering with me and my team on Mobile Home Park deals!
