Why Mobile Home Parks Are More Nuanced Than You Think

"I left Tesla and got into mobile home parks because I wanted cash flow that didn’t depend on me showing up every day." But here’s what most people miss: mobile home parks aren’t “easy money.” They’re a complex mix of operations, taxes, infill, financing, and tough decisions. Leo Young, founder of Cornell Communities, joins Brick by Brick to unpack the realities of mobile home park investing. From leaving Tesla and learning sales to building a portfolio of manufactured housing communities, Leo shares how he evaluates deals, finances acquisitions, manages risk, approaches responsible rent growth, and why tenant-owned homes are central to his strategy. They also dig into infill challenges, park-owned versus tenant-owned homes, navigating aging infrastructure, raising capital, and the key questions passive investors should ask before partnering with an operator. 🎙️ Listen to the latest episode of Brick by Brick.
