3,500 Mobile Home Units and How to “Manufacture” Cash Flow

With 3,500 mobile home units under management, Andrew Keel is an expert at “forcing” value and “manufacturing” cash flow even from underperforming assets. He’s so dedicated to making each mobile home park investment work that he’s even lived on-site (with his family) to ensure value is being added from the second he closes.  Through infill, diligent operations, and crucial fixed-rate debt, Andrew has been able to grow his portfolio at a time when many operators are forced to give up theirs. This wasn’t by luck, but by design, and Andrew’s advice can help any investor, whether investing in mobile home parks or other assets, add value, increase cash flow, and succeed in secondary and smaller markets.  Andrew says two things can increase your cash flow, and three things can kill a deal quickly. If you get a few of these wrong, your NOI can evaporate, but thankfully, they’re not hard to spot. Passive investing in mobile home parks?
