About this episode

Eugene Gershman and Gabriel Petersen discuss the challenges and realities of investing in mobile home parks, RV parks, and self storage.

Investor and podcast host Gabriel Petersen joins Eugene to unpack the realities of mobile home parks, RV parks, and self storage—sharing stories of septic failures, crime-ridden storage deals, and the seller-financed mobile home/RV park that launched his commercial career. They dive into underwriting, off-market cold calling, creative seller financing, development roadblocks, and how podcasting has become a secret weapon for networking and doing more deals.
