Diana Dailey is our Special Projects RVP and is the person that we inject into new or turn-around communities to bring them back to life. One of her mantras to get the park back into shape is to get back to the basics and build from there.

Marriott , the founder of Marriott Hotels once said “it’s the little things that make the big things possible” and that’s just as true in mobile home parks.

Vukovich from Bellweather – one of the nation’s leading loan brokerages – on the past, present and future of Fed moves and the corresponding interest rate implications. At a time in which every time Powell opens his mouth the stock market can drop 1,000 points or mortgage markets spin wildly, we thought this was a discussion you needed to hear to help bring clarity to these uncharted times.

So how do you make deals using “original ideas”? These can include a fresh approach on an old industry like AirBNB, or using an unusual structure like seller financing, or maybe paying a little extra based on the ability to immediately increase occupancy or rents by transitioning to internet marketing. If you want to get the edge on the competition, then this podcast will broaden your horizons.
