Lesson #5: Know When To Pull the Plug
“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible,” said Disney. He was a man who rarely turned down the chance to seize a new and exciting opportunity. Whether in his animations or his amusement parks, Disney has built his career upon creating unique and innovative experiences. Because he was constantly entering unknown territory, doing so inevitably required taking risks. Not all of his risks paid off. Like all other entrepreneurs, Disney needed to learn the lesson about when to commit to an idea and when to pull the plug.

Summer Is For...Prospecting?
Here we are at the beginning of summer, that traditional time when Americans leave their offices behind and head out to the beaches, mountains, amusement parks and other vacation hotspots, in search of a break from the 9-5 routine. As a salesperson, you might be tempted to slow down your prospecting activity because everyone seems to be on holiday. Instead, why not try these tried-and-true summer business builders.

Mobile Home Parks: How To Dispose of Ancillary Assets
Mobile home parks sometimes come with the strangest assets. I have wound up as the owner of everything ranging from used car lots to commercial laundries, and from apartments to single-family homes. How does this happen? Since most mobile home parks are fairly old, the original owner sometimes had additional businesses for rental properties that he owned in his heyday. And when you buy the park, you get the whole works.
How to Finance a Mobile Home Park: You Can Still Get Zero Down Financing
With single-family homes, a legitimate zero down deal is about as likely as snow and sleet in San Diego. However, with mobile home parks, they are as common as rain. Of the 25 mobile home parks I've bought, about five of them or 20% -- were zero down.

Mobile Home Parks - How to Properly Enforce the Rules
Many mobile home park owners feel that it is their duty as the owner to rule with an iron hand. They think that they can cure all of the park's ills with rule after rule. At with many parks, the rules section is longer than the lease itself. But is the park any better off with "rules phobia"? I have tested operating parks with extreme rules enforcement, and also with virtually no rules enforcement at all. And I think I have found the solution to successful park rules.
How to Make Money in the Mobile Home Park Business
Although it has taken us literally thousands of pages to describe how to do due diligence and operate mobile home parks effectively, the general theory on how to make money with mobile home park investments could fit on the back of an envelope. These are the few, simple steps to making money in mobile home parks.
Buy Mobile Home Parks - What Will You Tell Your Grandchildren if You Miss This Opportunity?
There has not been a better time to buy that mobile home park in the last decade. Due to problems in the commercial real estate lending market, prices for parks have plummeted over the last six months. Desperate sellers are dumping their parks at prices far less than construction cost. Just look at the prices on the site. Notice how many sellers have written on their price "must sell", "desperate", and "all reasonable offers accepted". And they are also advertising "seller financing available". It is, without question, a buyers market.

Why Good Looking Mobile Home Parks Have Ugly Returns
Some mobile home park buyers have this erroneous idea that the goal is to buy a great looking asset. They even rate the parks they look at based on physical appearance. The star system is a good example. Most people think a five-star park is always superior to a one star park. However, the only real star system they should consider is which park is a superstar on cash flow. Because at the end of the day, all that really matters when you own a mobile home park is making money. Parks that make money are great, no matter how ugly they are, and parks that lose money are dogs, despite how cute their entry may be. And, as a general rule, the prettier the park, the uglier the cash flow.
