Summary

On this week’s episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel dive into real numbers from recent deals and the systems that keep their operation moving even while traveling. Amanda breaks down a South Carolina mobile home park bought for 190k and sold for 735k, netting a little over 420k after paying back private lenders, plus a quick-turn plan on a rough 15-lot park and several land-home plays where undervalued existing homes create hidden upside. They unpack speed-to-close, encroachment fixes, broker selection, and why some manufactured homes aren’t worth relocating. Ash shares a clean investor waterfall that returns 100% of principal and pref, then splits 60-40 to GPs, highlighting alignment and when to hold versus exit.
