They're kind of a walled garden. So basically, the concept is that you just could buy a bad house, but it has to be in a good neighborhood. And with a mobile home park, you can actually improve the neighborhoods. You kind of break the rule of real estate, ‘location, location, location,’ a little bit. Not… not to the fullest, it's gray. But it can shift a little bit.”Join Glenn as he interviews Damian Bergamaschi, a data-driven real estate investor based in South Carolina. Damian began working at the age of 12 in a comic bookstore. After some important financial realizations in his teenage years, he studied business and finance in college. In the last decade, Damian co-founded Damris Capital, an investment advisory firm specializing in mobile home parks and self-storage facilities. Damian has found his financial freedom by following data and taking portfolio opportunities that other investors overlook. Glenn and Damian discuss:·         How to get investors to trust you ·         VIX – The Volatility Index·         Choosing investments through data and algorithms·         Being a limited partner versus being a general partner·         The benefits of small MHPs over larger MHPs·         What makes MHPs a special asset·         Controlling your RTOs and increasing their value·         Changing the stigma of MHPs·         Pros of regional acquisitions in building a team·         Infilling MHPs·         Building relationships and working with park owners for inventory·         The difference in supply/demand in different regional markets·         The impact of inflation on rentals·         The importance of both the deal and the deal structure·         Damian’s 50-acre family compound projectEpisode Links:X (formerly Twitter): @MobileHomeParkHeroLinkedIn: @damianbergamaschiInstagram:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/poMURXA4VnyYzengdntjVD1C6yPBkwnyTw02C7dqJPY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YzZj/MDk5MDVlOWM0ZGFi/MTJiNzBkODcwMGUx/MTA4My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
