    Affordable Housing, Deal Flow and Mobile Home Park Strategy ft. Leo Young

    Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Leo Young, who shares how he scaled to 500+ mobile home park units while navigating increasing competition and regulatory pressure. He explains his strategy of improving communities, raising rents toward market, and shifting from quick exits to longer-term holds through refinancing to maximize investor returns. The conversation highlights how operators are being squeezed by both institutional capital and new investors entering the space, making deal flow harder to find. Leo also breaks down the realities of managing across multiple states, emphasizing geographic diversification to hedge against evolving regulations such as rent control. He discusses expanding into RV parks, the operational differences compared to mobile home parks, and why operator execution matters more than asset class. Throughout, he stresses disciplined underwriting, strong systems, and building the right team as the key to long-term success in a tightening market.

    RV Park Underwriting, Multiple Revenue Streams and Deal Analysis ft. Heather Blankenship

    Amanda Cruise interviews Heather Blankenship, who shares how she built a diversified portfolio across RV parks, mobile home parks, and multifamily over 15 years, starting as an owner-operator before scaling with a team. She explains why RV parks offer strong cash flow but require heavy operations, leading her to add more stable assets to balance her portfolio. Heather breaks down how RV parks have remained stable post-COVID due to drive-to demand and supply constraints, while also explaining the complexity of underwriting assets with multiple revenue streams and higher operational costs. She highlights the importance of aligning your investment strategy with your goals, whether that’s cash flow, tax benefits, or long-term stability. She also walks through a hybrid RV and mobile home park acquisition, where she increased occupancy through workforce housing demand and repositioned the asset for stronger performance. Her key takeaway is that one RV park can still be life-changing, but only if the asset type matches your desired level of involvement and long-term vision.
