Author: John Fedro March 28, 2024 Duration: 44:53

In today’s mobile home investing podcast episode #31 I’m super excited to share another active mobile home investor named Drew. Drew’s in the Midwest and in a short period of time has already flipped multiple mobile homes for profit. Drew is helping one park and one family at a time.

So far Drew has invested solely in mobile homes inside of pre-existing mobile home parks. Drew has goals to purchase more mobile homes with land this year.

In today’s 45-minute podcast we discuss Drew’s scariest deal while mobile home investing, and a deal that made him extra-happy while flipping mobile homes.

We encourage you to learn from our mistakes. Today’s podcast is packed with Pro Tips and actionable steps to implement into your business sooner rather than later.

A Very Special Thanks to Drew for being so candid on today’s podcast episode. Listen below to just hear how Drew’s confidence has changed so much since the beginning of the mobile home investing journey. Keep it up, Drew!
