The Millionaire Journey Podcast

Join me as I sit down with Karen Petersen, a seasoned real estate investor, entrepreneur, and former fire investigator who has carved out a unique path in the world of mobile home park investing. With a background that spans fire scene analysis, brokerage ownership, and now managing thriving communities across Georgia, Karen brings a powerful blend of discipline, adaptability, and vision to the conversation.

Karen and I discuss:
  • Her journey from fire investigator to full-time real estate investor
  • Why she transitioned from traditional real estate to mobile home parks
  • How she builds sustainable communities through long-term strategy
  • The lessons she’s learned from managing tenant turnover and renovations
  • Why risk management and cash reserves are essential for investors
  • How rent-to-own models promote stability and homeownership
  • The importance of building a reliable contractor and support network
  • Navigating loan defaults and challenges while staying focused on the mission
  • Why she chose to scale without investors—and how she made it work
  • Her thoughts on financial independence, success, and knowing when you’ve reached “enough”
