    Podcast 62: Steve’s Mobile Home Investing Success – 9 Mobile Homes in 13 MonthsWelcome back,In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lesson podcast #62 we are talking to active Mobile Home Formula investor Steve. Back in 2024 Steve started mobile home investing in the great state of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida. Since partnering with John and the Mobile Home formula Steve has been able to buy and sell 9 mobile homes in his first 13 months investing in mobile homes.When most people think about real estate investing, they picture single-family houses, apartment buildings, or commercial properties. Very few investors immediately think about mobile homes.However, for investor Steve, mobile homes have become an incredible source of income and opportunity.Recently, I sat down with Steve to discuss his journey investing in used mobile homes and how he has successfully bought and sold nine mobile homes in just thirteen months. Throughout the conversation, Steve shared lessons learned, challenges overcome, and strategies that have helped him build a profitable mobile home investing business.From Beginner to Nine Deals in Thirteen MonthsAt the beginning of the interview, Steve explained that he has completed nine mobile home deals in just over a year. While many new investors spend months analyzing opportunities without taking action, Steve focused on learning the business and consistently moving forward.Like most successful investors, Steve’s confidence did not come overnight. Every deal taught him valuable lessons that improved his systems and decision-making.Steve’s First Mobile Home FlipAround the three-minute mark, Steve discussed his very first mobile home flip. Like many beginners, there were plenty of unknowns and challenges. However, the first deal proved that mobile homes could provide real profits without requiring huge amounts of capital.Many investors are surprised to learn that mobile homes often require far less money to purchase than traditional real estate. This lower barrier to entry allows new investors to gain valuable experience while reducing risk.Steve’s first deal gave him the confidence to pursue additional opportunities and continue growing his business.Finding Opportunity in “Must Be Moved” HomesOne of the most interesting topics discussed was investing in mobile homes that must be moved from their current location.These situations often arise when a landowner wants a property cleared, a lease is ending, or a homeowner can no longer keep the home where it currently sits. While many investors avoid these opportunities because moving a home can seem intimidating, Steve has found significant profits in these deals.Because fewer buyers are willing to take on the challenge of relocation, investors can often purchase these homes at deeply discounted prices. With proper planning and reliable movers, these deals can become highly profitable.Creating Value by Dividing LandAnother unique strategy Steve shared involved dividing a single lot into two separate parcels.Creative solutions like this can unlock additional value from a property and create opportunities that may not be obvious at first glance. Rather than simply buying and selling a property as-is, successful investors look for ways to improve the property’s usability and overall value.This type of creative thinking often separates experienced investors from those who struggle to find profitable deals.The Importance of Moving Homes on TimeOne lesson Steve emphasized was the importance of making sure a mobile home gets moved on schedule.When a mobile home must be relocated, deadlines matter. Delays can create additional costs, upset property owners, and jeopardize deals altogether.Steve discussed the importance of maintaining strong communication with movers, property owners, and buyers throughout the process. Proper planning and follow-up can prevent many problems before they occur.Mobile Homes Aren’t “Sexy”- And That’s an AdvantageOne of the most memorable comments from the interview came when Steve stated that mobile homes aren’t sexy.He’s absolutely right.Many investors chase trendy investments or highly competitive markets. Mobile homes often receive less attention despite offering excellent opportunities for cash flow and profits.Because fewer investors are actively pursuing mobile home deals, there is often less competition. This can allow investors to negotiate better prices and find opportunities that others completely overlook.Sometimes the best investments are the ones most people ignore.Building a Reliable TeamAs Steve’s business has grown, he has developed a network of trusted professionals who help him complete deals efficiently.One example discussed was having reliable handyman referrals available when repairs are needed. Having trustworthy contractors and service providers can save both time and money.At the same time, Steve shared an important warning for investors: don’t accept vague ...

    061 How to flip 18 mobile homes in 12 months with Jacob
    2026/04/25
    Welcome back,In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lessened podcast #61 we are talking to active Mobile Home Formula investor Jacob. In 2025 Jacob started mobile home investing in the great state of Louisiana. Since partnering with John and the Mobile Home formula Jacob has been able to buy and sell 18 mobile homes in his first 12 months investing in mobile homes.In this short year working together Jacob has become more confident investing in mobile homes, knowing how to help mobile home buyers and sellers, and has even transitioned into a full-time mobile home investor.Jacob is now investing full-time in mobile homes.Pro Tip: Mobile home investing is not for the weak.Investing in mobile homes, also known as manufactured housing, has become an increasingly attractive option for real estate investors seeking an affordable entry points and strong cash flow opportunities. This niche within the housing market offers a variety of benefits that make it especially appealing to both new and experienced investors.Mobile homes also tend to serve a high-demand market. Affordable housing is increasingly scarce, and many individuals and families rely on manufactured homes as a cost-effective living solution. This creates a steady pool of cash buyers and payment buyers.Strong cash flow potential, over $400 per mobile home monthly, is the goal. Since the upfront investment is low, the return on investment (ROI) can be significantly higher than traditional rental properties. This makes mobile homes particularly appealing for investors focused on generating consistent income rather than long-term appreciation.One of the most compelling advantages of mobile home investing is the low cost of entry. Unlike traditional houses, which often requires significant capital or financing, mobile homes can frequently be purchased at a fraction of the price. This allows investors to get started with less money and lower financial risk.Mobile homes also serve a needed demand for affordable housing. As housing costs continue to rise across the country, more individuals and families are turning to manufactured homes as a practical and affordable living solution. This creates a steady and often underserved market of buyers and renters. For investors, this demand translates into fewer vacancies and a consistent pool of interested prospects.Flexibility is another key advantage of mobile home investing. Investors can choose from a variety of strategies, including buying and selling homes for a cash profit, renting units for monthly cash flow, wholesaling, or offering seller financing to create even greater passive income streams.Mobile home investing also typically involves simpler transactions and faster turnaround times. Since the lower price points and often less complex financing, deals can be completed more quickly than traditional real estate purchases. No bank. No 3rd party underwriters. No title companies. This allows investors to scale their business more efficiently and reinvest profits into additional affordable mobile homes.Another positive aspect is the ability to add value through improvements. Many mobile homes can be enhanced with relatively low-cost upgrades such as new flooring, fresh paint, or minor repairs. These improvements can significantly increase the home’s appeal and resale value, allowing investors to boost profits without large renovation budgets.Finally, mobile home investing provides an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by offering affordable housing options. Mobile home investors play an important role in improving the quality and availability of housing for individuals and families who may not have access to traditional homeownership. This creates not only financial rewards but also a real sense of contribution to the community. We always aim for win-win-win transactions.In conclusion, mobile home investing offers a range of positive benefits, including low entry costs, strong cash flow potential, high demand, flexibility, and the ability to scale quickly. For investors seeking a practical and profitable real estate strategy, mobile homes present a compelling and accessible opportunity. With the right approach, mobile home investing can be a highly profitable addition to a real estate portfolio.Love what you do daily,John FedroSupport@mobilehomeinvesting.net

    058 From Student Loans to Mobile Home Notes with Carl
    2025/10/30
    Welcome back,In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lessons podcast #58 we are talking to active Mobile Home Formula investor, Carl. In a couple short years, Carl has been able to cash-flow individual mobile homes to quit his full-time pharmacy job.Selling a mobile home on payments = Down Payment + Monthly payments for over 60 months.In this short time working together Darryl has become more confident investing in mobile homes, helping others, investing on his own, and growing a profitable investing business.Carl has now transitioned away from his pharmacy career into a full-time mobile home investor and mobile home park investor. His wife is the next one to quit her career.A special thank you to all the guest of this podcast. They will help more people than they know.0:00 Carl’s Mobile Home Journey BeginsJohn opens the interview with a question every investor can relate to: “How did this all start for you?”Carl smiles and admits that just a few years ago, he didn’t even know what a mobile home title looked like. He had been looking for a side hustle that could eventually replace his 9-to-5, and when he stumbled across John’s videos on YouTube, something clicked.“I didn’t have a ton of money or a fancy background,” Carl says. “But I knew I wanted something that gave me control of my time. Mobile homes felt like a way in.”Carl took John’s course, learned how to analyze deals, talk to park managers, and build relationships with sellers. Within a few months, he was knocking on doors, visiting parks, and taking small but steady action.3:40 – The Emotional Rollercoaster of the First Few DealsWhen John asks what those early days were like emotionally, Carl laughs. “I almost quit after my first deal,” he admits.That first transaction was a whirlwind of excitement and stress. The seller backed out twice, the buyer’s financing fell through, and Carl spent nights wondering if he had made a huge mistake.But when the deal finally closed—and he walked away with a large profit—something shifted. “It wasn’t just about the money,” he explains. “It was about proving to myself that I could actually do it.”John nods knowingly. “Every investor remembers that moment when it stops being theory and becomes real.”Use the time markers below to fast forward the podcast above.✔️0:00 Carl’s mobile home journey✔️3:40 Emotional first few deals✔️4:50 Student loans to fund business✔️7:50 Second round of funding✔️13:00 Bigger and bigger deals✔️16:30 Smaller deals VS Bigger deals✔️22:40 4 deals per month✔️30:30 Progress not perfection✔️33:50 Owning self-storage✔️39:30 Top 3 headaches✔️44:45 Evictions are last resort4:50 – Using Student Loans to Fund His BusinessOne of the most surprising parts of the conversation comes when Carl shares how he initially funded his business. “I actually used my student loans,” he says. “I had some leftover funds from college, and instead of spending them on something temporary, I decided to invest them in something that could grow.”John chuckles but also commends Carl for his resourcefulness. “That’s what separates successful investors,” he says. “They find ways to get started, even if it’s unconventional.”Carl emphasizes that it wasn’t about taking reckless risks—it was about believing in himself and betting on his education.7:50 The Second Round of FundingAfter closing a few early deals and reinvesting the profits, Carl hit a wall: he needed more capital to scale. Rather than stopping, he got creative again.“I built a small track record—three successful deals,” he explains. “Then I reached out to friends and family who trusted me and showed them the numbers.”That “second round” of funding allowed him to buy multiple homes at once and renovate them simultaneously. “That’s when I realized this could be more than just a side hustle,” Carl says.John highlights this as a key teaching moment: “You didn’t wait until you were rich to start—you started, and that’s what made you rich.”13:00 Bigger and Bigger DealsWith experience came confidence—and bigger opportunities.Carl started buying double-wides, land-home packages, and homes inside 55+ communities. “The profits were bigger, but so were the challenges,” he notes. “It forced me to think more like a business owner instead of just a hustler.”John points out that this is a natural evolution many investors face: “As you grow, the size of your problems grows, too—but so does your capacity to solve them.”16:30 – Smaller Deals vs. Bigger DealsThe discussion turns to strategy. Should investors chase big deals or stack smaller ones? Carl’s answer is balanced.“I still love the smaller deals,” he says. “They’re quick, simple, and low-risk. But the bigger ones let you scale faster and build credibility.”John agrees, reminding listeners that both have their place. “The small wins pay your bills....

    056 Big Deals with Small Mobile Home Flips
    2025/05/21

    Welcome back,

    In today’s Mobile Home Investing Lessened podcast #56 we are talking to active Mobile Home Formula investors, Michael and Brian. Brian and Mike live and work full-time jobs in Manhattan, and commute to their mobile home investments out-of-state.

    These 2 guys have been mobile home investing in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland since beginning working with John in 2024. In this short time working together these two investors have closed 7+ mobile home flips for 5-figure paydays.

    In addition to making money Michael and Brian are learning every step of the way. All this while actually helping local mobile home buyers, mobile home sellers, and mobile home park managers. These two investors are even working directly with and helping local mobile home park owners to fix and fill the park's unwanted vacant mobile homes.

    Use the time markers below to fast forward the podcast.

    4:10 Easy or Hard

    5:00 Deals complete

    6:10 Problems to overcome

    32:40 Corporate VS mom and pop

    35:45 Advice for your former selves

    Pushing past the few negative park managers to talk directly with park owners

    Brian and Michael do not give up easy. When a door is closed in front of them, they look for a way in through the window. This is no more evident than when a local park manager told them that they were not able to purchase a used mobile home from a seller in the park that was being evicted.

    These two investors use the LinkedIn, the white pages, and skip tracing tools to track down the mobile home parks regional manager to talk directly with the person in charge. The regional manager welcomed these two investors with open arms.

    When you know you have a very good deal in front of you, definitely push hard to make it happen. Where there is a will, there usually is a way.

    Sacrificing the time needed

    The time definitely has to come from somewhere. Even if you plan to invest remotely out of state or only focus on wholesaling mobile homes to start, aim to have at least 15 hours set aside per week. Five of the hours can be at night, but the rest need to be during the daytime any day of the week or weekend.

    Building a safe and thriving business does not happen by accident. It does not happen without focus and weekly commitment. Again, 15 hours a week at minimum. If you have more hours or many more hours than that, then they will definitely be used while you are building your business for the first six months or more. After that more things can be outsourced and delegated out.

    Getting paid to learn

    Michael and Brian mentioned this in today’s podcast. They are making money while they are learning to invest in real estate and mobile homes. Brian and Michael are buying mobile homes through tax deed sales, mobile home park managers, online advertising, offline advertising, and more.

    Besides the monetary gains these guys are making, they are also learning a great deal about people’s skills and dealing with buyers, sellers, managers of communities, handyman, contractors, and more people that we run into on a day-to-day business. If you have not invested in real estate before, be prepared to improve and grow as a person.

    Mobile home deals rarely fall into our lap without regular work and effort. Expect to work harder for yourself than you do for someone else.

    Mobile home investing should not be exciting, but rather a predictable, safe, rewarding and profitable business. Moving forward when you have any mobile home related questions please never hesitate to comment or reach out to the email below.

    Love what you do daily,
