Filling A Half-Empty Mobile Home Park
A park can be in a downtown, high foot-traffic location and still sit half empty, and the reason often has nothing to do with demand. We break down a real mobile home park consulting visit where the outside looked solid (new fence, strong “for ...
Never Decide In Fear
Private investigators walked into my workplace and asked a question I will never forget: “Have you been stealing vegetable oil from restaurants?” I was young, finally steady in a career, and determined not to slip back into the trouble I grew u...
Mobile Homes Beat Rentals;
Spending $200,000 to $300,000 just to maybe clear a couple hundred bucks a month feels normal in real estate but it shouldn’t. We dig into a different path: mobile home investing built around simple cash flow math, faster deal timelines, and fe...
Own The Dirt
You can spend years chasing “the perfect deal,” or you can learn the few mental models that make mobile home park investing simple, repeatable, and profitable. We’re fresh off the final edits of my new book on how to get your first mobile home ...
Buying Mobile Homes With Title Problems
Most investors hear “no clear title” and immediately walk away. We did the opposite and I’ll tell you exactly why. After putting a mobile home under contract with a messy ownership situation, I break down how I evaluate title risk in manufactur...
Mobile Home Deal Breakers
That “great deal” in the photos can be the fastest way to buy yourself a nightmare. We drove out to a discounted 1996 mobile home that looked clean on paper, only to find the real story in the first five minutes: exterior wood rot, clear signs ...
Mobile Home Park Deals Start With Underwriting
Most people don’t lose money in mobile home park investing because the asset class is broken. They lose money because they buy wrong, believe bad pro formas, and skip the unsexy work that keeps a deal alive after closing. We’re unpacking what t...
How To Spot A Bad Deal Fast
A broker asks why we’re not interested in a mobile home park deal and then gets mad at the answer. That tension turns into a practical mini-masterclass on real estate underwriting, because the fastest way to avoid a bad investment isn’t more co...
Finding Seller-Financed Mobile Homes Fast
A “for sale” sign in a mobile home park window can be worth more than a week of online scrolling, and we prove it by doing the work live. I’m driving the rows, calling owners, and making offers in real time, including a deal structure that prot...
Real Estate Partnerships That Actually Make Sense
Everybody wants a partner in real estate until the partnership becomes the deal’s biggest problem. We get honest about why most partnerships are a mistake, how investors give away equity too quickly, and what to do instead when you’re feeling u...
Stop Chasing Bad Mobile Home Park Deals
Most mobile home park deals that get blasted around social media or shoved into a buyer’s inbox are not deals at all, they are just listings with wishful pricing. We talk about the frustration behind that, but more importantly, we give you a si...
Mobile Home Park Hacking
Divorce can make you think smaller. I went the other way. When I needed a place to live, I didn’t sign a lease or lock myself into a new mortgage. I bought a mobile home park, then bought a better one and moved into the on-site cabin. That deci...
Delayed Gratification Wins
You can tell who’s serious by what they’re willing to do when nobody’s clapping. Lying backstage between pre-judging and finals at a bodybuilding show, I connect the discipline of competition prep to what actually creates wealth in real estate ...
How To Buy Tiny Homes Without Getting Burned
Wiring money for a tiny home can feel like a gamble if you don’t have a process, and I’ve learned the hard way that “good deals” can still bleed you with moving costs, bad paperwork, or sellers who change their mind. I’m Travis Wells, and I’m w...
The $60,000 Text Message
One text message and one phone call can change the economics of a real estate deal, if you know how to use due diligence and timing. We tell the full story of a small 24-unit mobile home park that sat on the market for over a year, then got loc...
One More Question
A tiny home owner says they want $12,000 and most buyers stop at the price. I don’t. I ask one more question, then another, until the deal stops being a “purchase” and starts becoming a problem-solving plan that creates monthly cash flow. That ...
Automated RV Park Booking
I woke up to something I’ve been trying to engineer for a long time: an RV spot got booked on my website without me touching anything. The guest paid through Stripe, automatically received the park rules, site map, check-in details, and even th...
Protect Your Personal Number;
One small choice can wreck your boundaries as a landlord: sharing your personal cell phone number with tenants. I learned that lesson the loud way, from late-night texts during a brief neighborhood power outage to nonstop calls and vulgar voice...
Affordable Housing Cash Flow Hack
Unused land behind a property can look like “nothing,” right up until it starts producing real monthly income. I walk through a deal I did where I placed two fourplex-style mobile home units on extra acreage behind a park and turned them into c...
Easement Trouble At An RV Park
A developer calls and tells me my RV park’s main water line is six feet onto their land. That’s the kind of sentence that can wreck your day fast, especially when they’re building a subdivision road right on the property line and they want you ...
Holiday Weekend Repairs
A holiday weekend is supposed to be quiet, right up until an RV tenant calls saying the power is out, it’s getting dangerously hot, and they’re sitting in the car with their dogs. I’m Travis Wells, and I’m sharing what a real “day in the office...
Tiny Home Cash Flow
The internet loves a hot take, especially when money is involved. I posted a tiny home I sold on a rent-to-own and got flooded with comments like “That’s just a $10,000 shed.” So I do what I always do on Property Profits: I pull the deal apart,...
When Your On-Site Manager Quits
Your on-site manager can make your RV park feel calm and profitable, or chaotic and exhausting. When mine quit with a simple text about “fully enjoying retirement,” it forced a hard look at what actually matters in on-site management: clear sta...
The Deal I Almost Skipped
I came dangerously close to passing on a real estate deal that turned into one of the best opportunities in my portfolio, and it wasn’t because the market was wrong. It was because my mindset was. I’m Travis Wells, and I walk you through a mobi...
Buying Ugly Mobile Home Parks
Ugly mobile home parks can be the best deals you’ll ever find and the fastest way to lose money if you don’t know what you’re walking into. We talk candidly about why distressed assets like tall grass, big vacancy, unpaid bills, and back taxes ...
