What do the Olympic Torch Relay and manufactured home investing have in common? Robert Howell.

In this episode of Real Estate Secrets Unlocked, Danielle sits down with Robert Howell — event marketing veteran turned mobile home park mogul — to break down exactly how he went from wholesaling houses in rural South Carolina to owning 25 mobile home parks and running a thriving land-home package business, all starting with just $40,000 of his own money.

Robert shares:

Why he ditched fix-and-flip for land-home packages (and never looked back)
How seller financing helped him scale without constantly injecting his own cash
The hidden costs that can kill your ROI on land deals (septic, grading, burn bans — yes, really)
How he built his portfolio nights and weekends while running a roofing company full-time
His 40-item due diligence checklist and why 30–45 days matters
The truth about financing mobile home parks — it's more available than you think

Robert also shares details on the Land Home League, his coaching program where students have gone from $0 to $200K in as little as 9 months.
