The Mobile Home Park Lawyer Podcast

In today’s episode, we welcome Enon Winkler. He is a mobile home and RV broker who owns and operates mobile home parks while doing some third party management from time to time. He crushed it at multifamily back in 2004-2009, and continues to be vertically integrated with the properties that he owns at present. Basically, our guest is a jack of all trades.  Enon empowers his people to be entrepreneurial, and to do what it takes to go the extra mile. For him, it's all about figuring things out and creating a team culture where everyone really thrives on getting stuff done and learning. Together with his partners, they manage a bunch of third party properties, and they just selectively kind of pick and choose which ones they want to manage. It takes a lot of bandwidth to manage properties and they do not want to get too far out of their radius. Tune in to this episode to learn more about Enon’s story and how important it is to stay engaged in this industry!   Highlights of the episode:   00:01:20 Guest Background: Enon Winkler 00:12:08 What Else Is Going On in the Marketplace? 00:16:55 Our Offer Today Changes Tomorrow 00:23:29 How to Overcome Holding Paper 00:29:41 Rent Increases and its Factors 00:42:59 Closing   Connecting with the Guest: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/enon-winkler/ Website: https://otherstreet.com/   Connecting with MHP Law:    Website: https://themobilehomelawyer.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Mobile-Home-Park-Lawyer-103814958118069 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/themhplawyer-ferdniemann6923147/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themhplawyer   #multifamily #thinkingoutsidethebox #thirdpartymanagement

In today’s episode, we welcome Bryce McMurry to discuss how you can grow your portfolio with the help of his expertise in the contractor field. Bryan and his partners have “adding value to properties” as their niche in their construction projects. He emphasizes that property values may be stagnant because of a shortage of construction skills. However, there could be a lot of time management involved. That is why when real success happens in your business, the ability to effectively manage your workload is a crucial factor. A new survey finds that excessive workload is one of the main reasons developers are turning away from construction, so being able to manage your employees' workload and other tasks is very important.  Bryan advises; “Don't be the guy that's just hanging out in the office. Go on site. Walk the property, and talk personally to all the contractors.” This way, you add value to your property and improve how you properly manage your business.   Highlights of the episode: 00:01:11 Guest Background: Bryce McMurry 00:02:14 How to Capitalize on Construction Projects 00:07:08 Hiring Experts 00:13:53 Managing Workload 00:20:54 Advantages of Metal 00:26:52 Closing   Connecting with MHP Law:    Website: https://themobilehomelawyer.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Mobile-Home-Park-Lawyer-103814958118069 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/themhplawyer-ferdniemann6923147/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themhplawyer   #construction #addingvalue #workloadmanagement

In today’s episode, we discuss how not to pay taxes. Did you know that when you invest in real estate, you face tax problems? And not just when you sell the property, but at every step along the way.

Today, we discuss the importance of a written correspondence especially for investors. Most real estate transactions require some form of written contract, and it's very important that this portion of the transaction be addressed quickly and efficiently! Even simple verbal agreements can cause major problems, especially during periods of high volume. Many investors rely on automatically generated e-contracts which have been customized to their needs. A lot of people don't realize that the way you word a letter can have significant consequences on its outcome. A written correspondence is vital to protect your interests and is essential to protect both the buyer and the seller. It provides the recipient with clear notice and evidence of your intentions in a timely manner.  Hence why it's so important to be precise when writing a legal correspondence in real estate.   Highlights of the episode: 00:00:32 Podcast Intro 00:01:58 Basic Good Practices 00:07:24 Subscription Agreement 00:09:54 Target Internal Return Quote 00:10:36 Property Management Agreement Assumptions 00:13:19 Capacity Offering 00:17:42 Sample Execution Letters 00:23:12 Closing   Connecting with MHP Law:    Website: https://themobilehomelawyer.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Mobile-Home-Park-Lawyer-103814958118069 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/themhplawyer-ferdniemann6923147/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themhplawyer   #writtencorrespondence #investors #agreements

Today, we discuss what a Master Lease is and how and when you can use this for purchase.  Master Lease is a controlling lease that gives the lessee the right to control and sublease the property during the lease.
