The Hidden Housing Edge

About this episode

Leo Young discusses the complexities of manufactured housing communities and the importance of thorough preparation in real estate development.

Leo Young explains why manufactured housing communities can look simple from the outside but are really an infrastructure-heavy business where the biggest risk is the event no one budgeted for. He breaks down acquisition diligence, resident operations, financing, and why “measure twice, cut once” matters before buying or developing land.
