The fear of failure stops many from ever getting into real estate. But what if it’s the failures that actually make you wealthy? Today’s guest woke up in his 30s, broke and burned out, having traded years of his life for a business that went belly up. What looked like a failure to everyone else was the start of a multimillion-dollar business empire for Joe Downs. Joe has invested in it all—rental properties, flips, self-storage, mortgage notes, industrial warehouses, and more—but his newest obsession is one much of the market knows nothing about: pro storage. This new wave of self-storage has high demand, greater revenue, and a growing need in an increasingly entrepreneurial economy. Joe breaks down why he’s so excited about this new type of storage and shares the returns he’s making from running an incredibly lucrative “distressed debt” company. Plus, why investors are overlooking the wide open opportunity in small “mom and pop” real estate investments and how to “reinvent” yourself after failure puts you back at the starting line.

While most operators chase the Sunbelt states, one overlooked market type is making small- and mid-sized multifamily investors wealthier. It’s got near-zero vacancy, with strong employment anchors, and durable cash flow thanks to consistent demand. They’re not big cities; instead, they’re what today’s guest calls “micropolitan” areas—top multifamily markets even the most experienced investors overlook. While making just $35,000 per year, Cory Jacobson made the best move a small investor can make—he bought a house, rented out the rooms, and lived for free. On his second deal, he managed a light renovation, walking away with a six-figure profit—three times his salary. That was it. For Cory, it was time to go all in. Now, he’s putting his money into medium-sized multifamily investments (5-30 units) in “untapped” micropolitan markets and sharing his lessons on the Wealth Juice podcast. We talk about the perfect partnerships that have helped him scale at light speed, the day the “worst thing that could have happened” came true, and the actual markets he’s currently investing in.

This could be one of the, if not the, most under realized opportunities in commercial real estate. It’s a blue ocean market operating in a boring business space that most investors (and service providers) are completely overlooking. But, Jake Guso tapped into what no other real estate investor knew about industrial outdoor storage management, specifically truck parking lot businesses. These mom-and-pop shops are running almost entirely on handwritten notes and Zelle payments and it’s an absolute mess for owners and their accountants. After managing multiple truck parking lot businesses himself, Jake built Rig Hut, the software platform that turns dirt lots into cash flow. So much so that, in one case study, Jake helped an owner increase his annual revenue by as much as six figures. Today, I’m sitting down with Jake to talk about how Rig Hut is industrializing truck parking, how investors can get into the game themselves (and make serious money), the shocking “11-to-1” statistic that would make any investor excited, and how this forgotten asset class is only one of many in the CRE space. Plus, I’ll even share my exact strategy for finding deals like this in any area of the country. _______ Connect with Jake on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-guso-16bb167a/ Rig Hut: https://www.therighut.com/ Rig Hut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084019464551 Rig Hut Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therighut Rig Hut TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@righuttruckparking Rig Hut X/Twitter: https://x.com/truckpark_king Sunrise Capital Case Studies: https://sunrisecapitalinvestors.com/case-studies/

One key metric could tell you immediately whether a multifamily real estate investment is worth buying—but most people ignore it. It’s not cash flow, it’s not cap rate, and it’s probably something you’ve overlooked dozens of times. Joe Root helped grow his family’s multifamily portfolio and manages over 100 properties using this metric. Joe left the glitz of a corporate Wall Street career when he realized his family’s apartment portfolio was better than the big city life. Multifamily management quickly became his new obsession. During the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, Joe stepped in to manage (and buy) foreclosed properties that were barely staying afloat. Through 20 years of multifamily experience, he’s pinpointed the most overlooked markets in the country, how to dodge rent control and get your own city government to actively fight against it, and the #1 mistake you can make when screening tenants. He’s sharing it all, plus his key multifamily metric, in this episode. Insights from today’s episode: The one screening metric Joe uses to determine if a multifamily investment is worth it

Buying a turnaround park isn’t for everyone, but if executed properly, your efforts should reward you handsomely in both substantial returns on your investment as well as huge amounts of built in equity and cash flow. But on the flipside, buying the wrong distressed park might potentially lead you into a downward tailspin, which will inevitably lead you to a financial loss. Our goal is to educate you so that you only buy the distressed parks that make sense.

Charles and I will discuss mistake number 8 from our popular eBook, “The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…and how to avoid them.” One thing we see often is that many investors will choose to look for parks locally for the sole purpose of being near the park. There is nothing wrong with being close to your park, but you definitely don’t need to be. If you find that you live in a market where CAP rates are insanely low or in a market that is going through tough times, you would be much wiser to invest outside of your immediate area. The business model and management style we teach is effective whether you live across the street from your park or across the country. Don’t put yourself in the position of buying a bad investment just for the sake of being close to it. Proximity does not correlate to success in this business.

Ask a broker, lender, or even large corporate operators what the difference is between a three-star and a five-star park, and you will likely get a muddled response referring to amenities, paved streets, or swimming pools, but no hard data about how the stars are assigned or who does it.

MHP #897: Avoid The Mistake of Not Understanding What Your Financing Options are Prior to a Contract
Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #65 that originally aired on April 27, 2017. Welcome to the Mobile Home Park Academy podcast. In this episode, Charles and I will discuss mistake number 20 from our popular eBook, “The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…and how to avoid them.” There are many different ways to obtain financing on a mobile home park. Everything from a master-lease with purchase option all the way to doing sophisticated CMBS loans, we cover it all. As an investor, you need to understand what these options are and when they are appropriate. Certain parks you will run into throughout your search will simply need to be creatively financed based on how they are performing. Being able to recognize this immediately will allow you to become a better negotiator and will keep you from wasting your time with unrealistic sellers. Our goal is to show you how to identify the most appropriate financing options for the park you are looking at. We will also give you strategies to help make the financing process easier and make you more effective at conveying your needs to a seller. In addition to this we will show you the proper ways to structure these creatively financed deals.

After all, it’s where all the people live! The same should be true for you when you look for a park to buy. We see many “great deals” on parks that are off in the boonies. But are these great deals? You have to have demand for your product in order to run a successful business. Rural parks simply may not have the same demand as parks that are closer to town. You can fix many things in a mobile home park, but the one thing you can’t fix is your location and your demand. Our program will show you the tried and true methods of figuring out if there is enough demand for your lots.
