The Best Ever CRE Show JF 4191: How Buying Messy Parks with Challenging Features Creates Big Opportunities ft. Chad Freeman
Ash Patel & Amanda Cruise have a conversation with Chad Freeman about how most mobile home park investors struggle with overpaying and navigating a fragmented market where prices skyrocket once deals hit broker listings. Chad Freeman reveals the counterintuitive strategies that keep him hunting for off-market gems, focusing on fundamentals like location, the interest rate-cap rate spread, and distressed properties others overlook. If you're tired of chasing thin deals in a crowded space, this episode unlocks how to outlast, outsmart, and secure true value in an asset class often dismissed as too tough.
Discover how Chad's unique approach to off-market sourcing, relationship-building with brokers, and understanding the real risks like wastewater systems and park culture gives him an edge in the Sunbelt and Midwest markets. We break down critical tactics such as analyzing lot rent, avoiding inflated broker prices, and the importance of management turnaround to boost values. You’ll also learn why barriers to entry are actually opportunities and how resilience and volume are keys to outperforming institutional investors flooding the space.
