🎥 DESCRIPTION
On this episode, I sat down with Kevin Thueson, a corporate dropout turned campground real estate investor. Kevin shares how he transitioned from the corporate world into investing in the great outdoors, the strategies that turned a single property into thousands in monthly cashflow, and why he thinks campgrounds are the diamonds in the rough of the real estate investing world. This conversation is full of real numbers, real risks, and the mindset shifts it takes to make the leap toward financial freedom.
Specifically, we talk about:
• what led him to sell his house and quit his job to go all-in
• building a vertically integrated team
• the mindset to bet on himself (even with a family)
• and so much more!
