Being the BEST Operator

[Logan M.]

The greatest secret to business is learning how to be an exceptional Operator. This is the person who ensures the implementation of the overall strategy of the business.

In the mobile home park investing niche, I have found a near-limitless opportunity in underperforming parks. There are several reasons why they are underperforming, but I want to focus on the opportunity it creates. If you know how to maximize your communities you can repeat that strategy over and over again. This could be rent collection, filling vacancies etc etc

Being a savvy Operator coupled with Seller Financing removed 99% of your barriers and allows you to repeat it over and over again.

Recap:

Learn to operate communities at an effective level.

Learn creative financing to lower the barriers of entry and increase ROI.

Take my vote! The first sentence alone is something that 99% of people need to hear and internalize.

 Talk to the owners directly and figure out what their needs are. 

Rarely will they say a bunch of cash, it usually is something else like more freedom etc

 Thanks @Wyatt Wolff I wish this was a bigger part of the investing conversation. I have yet to read anything that dives into Operating in real estate.

 I think its more of a business and life lesson honestly... become a master of your craft, and everything else becomes much much easier. I feel like too many people ignore the actual hard biz skills, and  and instead focus on number of doors or other metrics. You can make a lot by becoming good at one strategy, but if you learn and constantly work on industry knowledge as a whole, you become unstoppable.  -Shamelessly paraphrased from Andy Frisella

 1000% agree!  Just to be clear, YOU don't have to be the operator, but YOU need to have known how to do it and ensure the operator you employee (either as in house or through a PM company) needs to know how to do this at a high level.  I've found having clear flowcharts and processes for the business creates a high level of success and less failures in the future.

 I am always open to a conversation to see if I can give you some tips but I am far from being a perfect Operator
