702: Manufactured Housing Mastery

Consistent returns are generated when there’s scarcity. One asset class that epitomizes scarcity is Manufactured Housing.

Amanda details her strategy of identifying off-market opportunities, building direct relationships with owners, and executing targeted value-add strategies across 20-50 space parks in the Southeast. She explains how her in-house management model, combined with a preference for tenant-owned homes, drives stability and mitigates operational risk.
