In this episode of The MHP Show, we reveal how we tripled the value of a mobile home park in under 12 months turning a $4.1M off-market deal into an $11.5M asset. If you're a mobile home park investor, real estate entrepreneur, or business owner looking for high-ROI opportunities, this is your blueprint.

We cover how mobile home park conversions, utility bill-backs, and hands-on management led to 3X cash flow. Discover why mobile home park investing is recession-resilient and how our team created a 380% return for investors.

Want to learn how to scale mobile home park operations or find undervalued parks? We break it all down in this real-world case study.

Watch to learn proven strategies in mobile home park investing that are working today and how we’re doing it again in Fund One.

Key Takeaways:

• Why off-market, mom-and-pop-owned parks are gold mines if you know what to look for

• How park-owned home conversions unlocked massive value with minimal capital

• Reimbursing tenants for siding/skirting turned into a win-win for curb appeal and pride of ownership

• Why market rent alignment, utility bill-backs, and simple ops upgrades matter more than flashy amenities

• The real reason we returned investor capital within a year and 3.8X’d it on paper

Our Strategy: We don't wait on cap rate compression or rate cuts. We create value through proven playbooks. Our acquisition team is hunting down distressed assets that others overlook, and our ops team is trained to execute fast.

Why It Matters: This deal could’ve died in the wrong hands. Instead, we turned it into a generational win for our investors and the residents. And we’re doing it again in Fund One.

The Bottom Line: These deals are harder to find but they’re out there. We’re buying them now.

In this power-packed episode of The MHP Show, Derek Vickers sits down with Daniel Wise Field, CEO of Three Pillar Communities, who owns an incredible 83 mobile home parks totaling 7,600 lots across 15 states.

What You'll Learn:

About Daniel Weisfield:

Daniel is a third-generation mobile home park investor, operating more than 80 manufactured housing communities in 15 states and serving over 10,000 residents. His grandfather immigrated to the U.S., saved money by fixing cars in his backyard, and eventually bought a mobile home park. To build on that legacy, Daniel’s professional mission is to turn the “trailer park” stereotype on its head. He believes manufactured housing is the best way to close our country’s housing gap and to create affordable home-ownership opportunities. Daniel holds a JD/MBA from Yale and previously worked as a strategy consultant at McKinsey & Company and as a U.S. diplomat at the State Department. When he’s not operating mobile home parks he loves surfing, wilderness conservation, speaking foreign languages badly, and spending quality time with his wife and two young kids.

In this solo episode of The MHP Show, I break down exactly why I'm doubling down on mobile home parks despite interest rates and inflated pricing. While others are sitting on the sidelines complaining, I'm going all-in – and here's why you should pay attention.

Key Takeaways:

My Contrarian Strategy: While competitors retreat, we're scaling our acquisition outreach harder than ever. Interest rates aren't dropping soon, so I'm underwriting deals assuming current rates – creating additional margin of safety for our investors.

The Reality Check: Sacred cows of MHP investing (like the "$40K per pad" rule) are keeping investors broke. We've adjusted our thinking at Vicktory Capital and are finding severely undervalued off-market deals while others chase broker listings.

Why I'm Personally All-In: My entire net worth is in mobile home parks. I sell my insurance company stock annually to reinvest in our parks. When the CEO puts his money where his mouth is, that should tell you something.

The Bottom Line: These assets will only get harder to buy. We're buying now because we'll regret not buying later. While others wait for a market crash that won't come, we're acquiring another 2,000 units.
