Today's Flash Back Friday episode is from #609 that originally aired on Jan. 26, 2023.

Eric started his career as a dentist during which time he successfully owned and operated four dental practices that he in turn sold to a private equity group. After increasing his net worth four times since the sale of his dental practice, and increasing his passive income from $7k to over six-figures per month, Eric wanted to share his knowledge and teach others how to do the same. Eric has now diversified his wealth and investments in commercial real estate, private equity, and VC funds and helps advise others on how to do the same.

Quote: “Now I get to work, and I’m helping other people be able to get to work. Not just have to work.”

In this episode, we discuss the practice in grading mobile home parks with the "star" rating (usually one to five stars), which exists for no other type of commercial real estate.

What makes this interesting is that almost no one who uses the rating knows what it means or where it comes from. Ask a broker, lender, or even large corporate operators what the difference is between a three-star and a five-star park, and you will likely get a muddled response referring to amenities, paved streets, or swimming pools, but no hard data about how the stars are assigned or who does it.
