Why Smart Money Is Quietly Leaving Multifamily for Manufactured Housing

The MHC deal market is heating up — and we're breaking down exactly what's driving it.

In this episode of Cash Flow Quest, we cover why $500M–$1B in mobile home park deals are coming to market, how institutional money stuck in multifamily is creating new inventory, and what the new federal housing bill could mean for the entire manufactured housing industry. We also get into why LPs have all the negotiating power right now, the truth about social media syndicators in real estate, and how CPI dropping to 2.4% could finally push rates lower.

Plus — we settle a $200 bourbon bet on San Diego home prices. 🥃
