She Took Down 3 RV Parks in 18 Days: Heather Dimmick's Builder's Eye for Deals
from Dream Start Own Podcast - The Path to Own Your Time · host EdgartheConnector
Some people have done a hundred deals. Some have swung a hammer on a hundred sites. Heather Dimmick has done both. Thirty years as a general contractor, over 1,800 units managed and a team that took down three RV parks in eighteen days. What we cover: - How her four-person team closed three RV park deals between December 28 and January 15, all seller financed, with zero money of their own in the deals - Why she walks every property herself before pricing a rehab, and how she underestimates numbers to lenders on purpose - Starting as a 25 year old woman running crews of men in their sixties and the day she had to fire someone to earn respect - The flip where the appraised value came in at 1.3 million and she still sold for 950,000, and why she calls it nothing she did wrong, just real estate - How her team split responsibilities, hammered out a real operating agreement and stayed compatible enough to call each other family - Leaving Canada with zero U.S. credit and starting completely over in Florida Heather is a general contractor and real estate investor who has owned apartment buildings, run flips and now operates RV parks with her partners at We Are LCP. If you are interested in RV parks, mobile home parks, multifamily, seller finance or how experienced operators actually evaluate a deal, this conversation is a practical look at what buying, managing and improving real estate actually takes. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Heather's Builder's Eye 01:20 Buying 3 RV Parks in 18 Days 02:12 How Each Park Is Performing 05:14 Early Days as a Woman General Contractor 07:56 Why Walking the Property Matters 10:57 The Flip That Lost Money 13:46 Why Heather Shifted From Flips to Parks 15:04 Meeting Josh Smith and Building Accountability 17:42 How the RV Park Team Came Together 20:58 Choosing the Right Partners 23:15 Operating Agreements and Staying Focused 24:36 From Property Management to Owning Deals 28:12 Starting Over in the U.S. 29:22 Canadian Investors and Lending Opportunities 31:22 How the 3 RV Park Deals Came Together 33:50 Seller Financing the Parks 36:24 Raising Capital Without Using Their Own Money 38:12 Lessons From the First 3 Deals 39:23 Long-Term Stays, Seasonal Guests and Park Strategy 42:08 Why Strong Management Matters 42:35 Systems That Help Scale RV Parks 44:51 What Owning It Means After 30 Years 46:01 Team Commitments and Operating Agreement Lessons 48:17 Learning to Lead Crews and Fire Fast 50:39 How Beginners Can Start in Real Estate 52:36 Future Deals, Investors and Partnerships 54:08 Where to Connect With Heather 54:40 Final Thoughts: Keep Building 🤝 Connect with Heather Dimmick 🌐 Website: wearelcp.com 👉 Don't forget to 👍like, 💬comment, 🔔subscribe, and share. 🔧 Tools & Resources Mentioned 🔧 Some of the links below may be affiliate partnerships.
