What if the investment you've been ignoring is ignoring recessions, too?
Stocks are floating at all-time highs. Everyone's calm. That's usually when things get weird.
Matt opens this episode with a blunt take: when the market turns, investors don't get creative. They panic into real estate. The problem? Most people only know one version of it.
So we brought on Matthias Gruenwald, a former German corporate exec who quietly built a real estate business around mobile home parks, the asset class most investors joke about and then completely misunderstand.
This isn't a hype episode. It's a reality check.
🍸 What you'll hear in this episode:
-
Why "trailer park" thinking kills good deals
-
The difference between owning land vs owning buildings
-
Why tenants in mobile home parks don't leave
-
How depreciation works when you don't own the homes
-
What a first-time syndication looks like when you have no idea how to raise money
-
How a $3.85M deal almost fell apart…and didn't
💡 Notable Takeaway:
The tax benefits on mobile home parks are amazing. Actually, one of the best, if not the best, in commercial real estate.
