After years of building a high-performing insurance agency—with no equity to show for it—Derek had a wake-up call: real wealth doesn’t come from commissions, it comes from owning assets. That revelation launched him into the world of real estate, where he built Vicktory Real Estate Group from the ground up and now owns over 2,000 units across 41 mobile home parks. Based in Florida and operating nationwide, Derek and his team are passionate about reviving rundown parks, building safe and affordable housing, and helping business owners escape the hamster wheel by investing in cash-flowing real estate.\nDerek and I discuss:\nTransforming rundown parks into safe communities.\nHow mentorship plays a significant role in navigating entrepreneurship.\nThe importance of stabilization before expansion.\nProperty management challenges, systems, and operations for excellence.\nHow to overcome limiting beliefs in real estate investment.\nThe launching of his VC Equity Fund and how funds can allow for more flexibility.\nExpanding to new markets.\nStrong management structures for operational success.\nCommunicating with and holding property managers accountable.\nRaising capital and managing portfolios. \nThe complexities of mobile home park operations.\nEpisode Links\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-vickers-0774b146\nhttps://vicktorycapital.com/\nhttps://vicktoryrealestategroup.com/\nhttps://linktr.ee/derekvickers885\nDerek's First Episode - \"Making Millions in Mobile Home Parks\"\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/making-millions-in-mobile-home-parks/id1728886342?i=1000648810038\n\n------------------------\nTHE MILLIONAIRE JOURNEY\nGet your free e-book here:\nTop 10 Reasons Mobile Home Parks Outperform Other Real Estate Investments\n\nInvest with Glenn:\nhttps://www.verticalequityproperties.com/about\n\nwww.themillionairejourney.net\n...","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}
