047 Ethical Mobile Home Investing for Success with Tonya and Anthony

Author: John Fedro April 10, 2024 Duration: 36:24

In today’s mobile home investing lessons podcast you are in for a treat. I’m so proud of these two investors. They are such great examples of running a successful mobile home investing business with a spouse. Tonya and Anthony have been happily married for decades. They’re now busy full-time mobile home investors that started investing just a few years ago.

In a short period of time Anthony and Tonya have proven themselves as trustworthy and life-changing investors/brokers for the mobile home buyers and sellers they work with.

Mobile home investing requires determination. Success requires determination. Determination is not something that can be taught. You either have it or you don’t. These two investors are a great example of dedicated and determined investors.

Special thanks to Anthony & Tonya!

Helping Others First

Zig Ziglar roughly says, “The more people you help, the more value you will create.” As investors and entrepreneur, we do not get paid weekly to start. Before the riches comes education and helping many people for free.

Becoming a Mobile Home Licensed Broker or Dealer

Almost every state requires an individual to become “licensed” when more than a certain number of mobile homes purchased and resold within a year. Or if an individual is acting as a personal property realtor between mobile home buyer and mobile home seller for a profit. Both these scenarios may fall under a mobile home dealers/retailers license or a mobile home broker’s license.

Not every unlicensed investor is ethical, unethical, knowledgeable, or unknowledgeable. Same goes for licensed investors who are not always ethical into are not always knowledgeable. It is important for each one of us to become educated and make sure we set our buyers and sellers up for success.

Winning Requires Determination

As you listen to today’s podcast it is easy to hear how Tonya and Anthony could have quit at any moment in the past. These two investors support one another and love one another whether any deals fail or succeed.

Today’s podcast shows example after example of Anthony and Tonya remaining persistent and focused towards achieving their goals. Success does not care if you are excited, feeling positive, or feeling negative. Success only requires that you do the work.
