Episode Description

What does it take to go from growing up in a mobile home…to owning hundreds of mobile home lots across the country? Today’s guest, my business partner Brian Spear, is living proof that mindset and mission matter more than where you start.

In this episode, Brian shares his remarkable journey into mobile home park investing, the lessons from the wealthy that helped him build long-term success, and how we joined forces to build Sunrise Capital Investors—with mobile home park investments totaling in the hundreds of millions.

We go deep on what makes buying a mobile home park such a powerful wealth-building tool, the character traits that separate long-term winners from short-term speculators, and how we’ve used investing as a vehicle for something more than just financial gain.

This isn’t just an investing episode—it’s a blueprint for building both cash flow and character.

Insights from today’s episode:

  • How Brian went from tenant to owner in the mobile home park space

  • Lessons from the wealthy that can reshape how you approach investing
