    How We Tripled the Value of a Mobile Home Park in Under 12 Months | EP 98

    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.   Resources to Boost Your MHP Success: • Download Our Free Ebook: https://vicktorycapital.com/free-ebook • Schedule a Strategy Call: https://derekvickers.com/free-strategy-session • Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mhpinvestingpros   Connect with Me: 🔗 Follow on Social Media: @derekvickers885 📧 Email: derek@victorycapital.com   For passive investors: Book a call to learn about our investment opportunities for seven and eight-figure entrepreneurs focused on building generational wealth through mobile home park investing.   Ready to stop making excuses and start making deals?
