Summary

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise interviews Derek Vickers, a mobile home park investor who went from zero to over 2,000 lots in just five years. Derek shares how he overcame fear and inexperience to scale quickly, the reasons he focuses on urban one- and two-star parks, and why legal non-conforming zoning is a hidden asset. He dives into the operational and financial strategies behind park-owned home conversions, the importance of systems in scaling, and his shift from syndications to fund management. Derek also unpacks the window of opportunity left in the mobile home park space and why now is the time to go big.
