There’s always a new “best strategy” in real estate.

Airbnb. Industrial. Multifamily. The next hot thing.

But the real reason most investors stall out isn’t access or capital — it’s attention.

In this episode, Frank Rizzo explains why constantly pivoting resets your progress, how compounding only works when you stay in the game long enough, and why mastery in one lane will always outperform motion in five.

If you’ve ever felt tempted to switch strategies when things get tough, this episode is your reset.

Mastery beats motion. Every time.

Small parks or big parks — which one really wins?

In this episode, Frank Rizzo and Stone Capital CFO Peter Falcone debate one of the most important questions in manufactured housing investing right now.

With institutional capital chasing larger communities, does that make small parks the real opportunity? Or do the operational risks outweigh the upside?

They unpack:

• Why big parks offer scale, staffing leverage, and margin for error

• Why small parks can deliver strong cash flow — if you operate them right

• The real risks of park-owned homes, reserves, and vacancies

• How different business plans change what “the right deal” actually is

If you’re building — or thinking about building — an MHP portfolio, this conversation will challenge how you look at deal size, risk, and growth.

Listen through and decide where you stand in the debate.

In this solo episode of The MHP Exchange, Frank Rizzo delivers a blunt reality check for operators struggling with infill.

If your lots are vacant, demand exists, and homes still aren’t moving, the problem isn’t pricing—or the market. It’s sales. Frank breaks down why infill fails when operators delegate selling to managers who were never trained to sell, and why “hoping” homes move is not a strategy. From lead follow-up and speed-to-contact, to messaging, accountability, and building a real sales system, this episode lays out what actually drives absorption inside manufactured housing communities.

This is a must-listen for operators, investors, and anyone taking on value-add or low-occupancy parks who wants to stop leaving deals on the table and start engineering infill results instead of guessing.

Manufactured housing is facing increased scrutiny—and not because the business model stopped working. In this episode of The MHP Exchange, Frank Rizzo sits down with Andrew Cramer, founder of Bridgeview Asset Management, to discuss how investor and operator behavior shaped today’s regulatory response. Drawing from more than a decade operating in highly regulated markets, Andrew explains why optics matter, how ethical execution differs from bad behavior, and what it takes to operate manufactured housing communities for the long term.

In the 100th episode of The MHP Exchange, Frank Rizzo sits down with returning guest Chris Stout to unpack the side of real estate investing no one prepares you for.

What happens when your deal stops being private—and suddenly becomes public?
When headlines form before you can speak, pressure builds from every direction, and perception threatens to stall momentum?

Chris shares firsthand lessons from navigating public backlash, political noise, and a real-time PR crisis—breaking down how to stay composed, control the narrative, and get to the other side without losing the deal or your reputation.

This episode isn’t about theory.
It’s about what really happens when real estate gets loud—and how experienced operators respond when everyone is watching.

In this episode of the The MHP Exchange, Frank Rizzo sits down with Hayden Duer to talk about the real shift in real estate—moving from staying busy to actually owning.

Hayden shares how learning the business from the ground up shaped his approach to investing, why operations and teamwork matter more than most people realize, and what changes once you step into true ownership. This conversation is a grounded look at how real estate wealth is built through knowledge, patience, and execution.

2026 will reward prepared operators—and expose everyone else.

In this episode, Frank Rizzo breaks down the three things that will matter most in mobile home park investing in 2026, including regulatory pressure, slowing rent growth, and why deal flow is coming back fast.

If you want to understand where the MHP market is heading and how serious operators are adjusting now, this episode sets the tone for 2026.

In this episode of The MHP Exchange, Frank Rizzo breaks down the real-world impact of New York City’s City of Yes initiative—and the unintended consequences of the proposed COPA legislation.

While City of Yes was designed to increase housing density and attract development, COPA could fundamentally disrupt the free market by giving government agencies and nonprofits the right to match purchase offers on multifamily properties. Frank explains how this type of legislation threatens transaction velocity, exit certainty, and capital flow—and why legislative risk is often the most dangerous risk investors fail to underwrite.

A must-listen for investors who want to understand how policy decisions can reshape markets, stall growth, and determine where capital ultimately chooses to go.

Some mobile home park deals are too complex for most lenders to touch.
That’s when operators call Marc Tropp.

In this episode, Marc Tropp of Eastern Union breaks down how the toughest MHP deals actually get financed—from individually deeded lots and park-owned homes to lender scrutiny shaped by post-2008 lessons. Marc shares what banks are really looking for today, why experience matters more than ever, and how a strong business plan can make or break a deal in the current lending environment.

If you’re facing a complicated deal—or want to understand how to structure one before problems arise—this episode is essential listening.

Everyone wants their first million—but almost no one realizes the real turning point is your first $100K. In this solo episode, Frank Rizzo breaks down why that early milestone is harder, more important, and the point where most people quit.

Frank shares the FILO mindset (First In, Last Out), the grit required to survive your early years, and the painful deal that taught him why having $100K changes your identity—and your leverage—forever.
