What happens when your first mobile home park investment goes completely off the rails? In this episode, Frank Rizzo sits down with Ryan Groene—who opens up about the nightmare that nearly took him out of the game: a contaminated water system, a site manager meltdown, a drive-by shooting, and managing it all from three hours away.

But instead of quitting, Ryan built adversity trust—the mindset that helped him push through, trust his instincts, and scale to 14 parks in a single year.

They talk lessons in operational chaos, the danger of outgrowing your organizational structure, and what happens when you have no plan B.

If you're building in the trenches, this is a must-listen.

Not all sponsors are created equal—and picking the wrong one can cost you big. In this solo episode, Frank Rizzo breaks down the red flags of poor sponsorship: from chasing growth at all costs to neglecting the operations that actually make a deal work. Hear real examples, hard lessons, and what every investor should be looking out for before putting money in.

What happens when your kid doesn’t recognize you? For Cory Harelson (co-founder of Freedom Investing Group), that was the breaking point after years in corporate working 60–80 hour weeks. In this episode, Cory shares how he walked away from burnout and into the mobile home park space—chasing freedom through passive income and entrepreneurship.

We cover how he's vertically integrating his operations, starting his own property management company, and why building strong communities starts with listening to residents and empowering the right onsite manager.

This is a real, raw look at the grind behind the scenes of MHP success.
