Brian Spear is a Founder of Sunrise Capital Investors. His company specializes in acquiring deals in off-market, direct-to-owner transactions in the unique niche of mobile home parks.  

Over the past decade, Brian has raised tens of millions of dollars and has helped hundreds of accredited investors diversify into mobile home parks. As co-host of the Mobile Home Park Investing podcast, Brian also educates investors on how to locate, negotiate, and acquire properties that generate cash flow and build legacy wealth for their families. 

He has been featured in numerous media outlets and is an official member of the Forbes real estate council.  

Brian attended the University of Kentucky on a baseball scholarship and was voted captain of a team that ultimately had six MLB alums. He was also named CoSlDA ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District.

Episode Highlights:

- Many institutional investors are forced to sell properties because of maturing debt or because they’re in the process of winding down a fund. Mom and pop operators on the other hand, usually have no motivation to sell within a clear timeline since the main motivator is to retire someday.

- Leveraging brokers that have been plugged into a community for many years and that is not an industry specialist can be a very valuable asset to leverage in finding deals. Brokers also save you a lot of the leg work required to find deals yourself.

- Although Sunrise Capital relies on brokers to bring in many deals, about 85% of their total deals are sourced using direct-to-owner marketing.

- The natural progression of a real estate investor to reach capital fundraising status is to start with your own capital, raise money from friends and family, grow your investor network through word of mouth referrals, and eventually raise capital through SEC regulated syndications such as Reg D 506(c) offerings. It took Sunrise Capital at least 4 years to reach this point.

- Sunrise Capital differs from other real estate investment firms in that they usually return capital to their investors through refinancings instead of asset sales, which mitigates investors’ reinvestment risk and maximizes the longevity of each investment.
