Niyi Adewole was a medical device sales director making six figures when he walked away to go full-time in real estate.

They also cover why your first deal should be a base hit, whether short-term rentals are a real business or vanity investing, and how Niyi is still making rental deals work when rates won't come down.Book a free discovery call with Frank: https://bookings.cloud.microsoft/book/[email protected]/?ismsaljsauthenabledConnect with Niyi Adewole: https://www.linkedin.com/in/niyiadewole/If you found value in this episode, rate and share it on your listening platform.

Brent Bowers used to call land passive income. He doesn't anymore. Frank Rizzo talks with Brent of The Land Sharks about his journey from flipping tax-delinquent land to placing new manufactured homes on individual lots and selling them as land-home packages. You'll hear how Brent picks markets where these homes actually sell, why he sees an affordable housing shortage rather than a housing shortage, the biggest misconceptions holding new investors back, and why nothing in real estate, mobile home parks included, is truly passive.Book a discovery call with Frank: https://bookings.cloud.microsoft/book/[email protected]/?ismsaljsauthenabledConnect with Brent Bowers: https://www.thelandsharks.com/If this episode was valuable, rate and share it.

Mobile home parks get sold as passive investments. After nearly two decades in the space, Frank Rizzo says there's probably nothing further from the truth. In this solo episode of The Mobile Home Park Exchange, Frank explains why the onsite managers and team on the ground are the unsung heroes behind every community that seems to run itself, why delegation isn't a system, and how a Stone Capital Investors system that hit a ceiling was changed by insight from the people closest to the residents.Book a free discovery call with Frank: https://bookings.cloud.microsoft/book/[email protected]/?ismsaljsauthenabledLearn more: https://www.stonecapinv.com/Rate this episode and tag The Mobile Home Park Exchange, then let us know to receive our After Site Visit Report.

Frank Rizzo just got back from Walnut Creek, Stone Capital's first hybrid mobile home and RV community in Troy, Alabama. He talks through the infrastructure failure that forced a two-year RV shutdown, the setbacks that slowed the rebuild, and the moment they realized they'd built the park for the wrong kind of resident. What changed the trajectory, and what it means when a turnaround finally stops needing you, is the heart of this one.

Frank just got back from a site visit on a community his team bought not even two years ago — and it completely changed how he sees his own underwriting. On this solo episode of The Mobile Home Park Exchange, Frank breaks down what a nearby comp sale revealed about how fast this market has moved, why the historical basis play in manufactured housing has shifted, and how the affordability crisis and shrinking park supply are driving pad prices higher than most operators are underwriting for.

Chris Gavre buys raw land, orders a brand-new manufactured home, and detitles it so buyers can finance it like a stick-built house. Frank Rizzo talks with him about scaling that model to nearly 200 deals since 2023, how he underwrites a site, and why land-home packages might be one of the clearest answers to the affordability crisis right now.

Most mobile home park deals today are underwritten at negative leverage — and lenders keep funding them. Frank Rizzo talks with 25-year MHC lending veteran Art Tuverson (GE Capital → Berkadia) about why cap rates confuse multifamily lenders, how after-tax and depreciation plays are driving buyers, and why "passive investment" is a myth in this space.
