You really should do a follow-up in a year. Just to see how it turned out and talk about final numbers. I really am sceptical on those reno costs.

Brandon seems like such a great guy. He is grinding and his heart is in the right place

I purchased 40 mobile homes in Topeka for $8,000.. Total. I’ve already sold $290k worth of the homes and I’m only half way through the portfolio!

If it were me I would fence off the place, hire security, and include a laundromat and vending machines.

You gotta admire someone like Brandon, trying to do GOOD for less fortunate people WHILE also makinga dime.

Brandon the type of guy that knows a guy for everything

You’re going to need 24 hour security patrol once you start Reno. If not 8 months of work could be wiped away from 1 night of squatting thieves.

Brandon, I love the mobile home park. I actually got a tingle. I get $600-$800 for mine. I know EXACTLY how to fix these mobiles. I would salivate over finding such a deal. We don't even spend $7000 to fix-up and I use 24 month zero financing at Home Depot so my fix-up supplies are paid out of rent cash flow. 1. New electrical pole and outside 200 amp disconnect for about $1000, new 200 amp load panel inside 2. Septic cost me $4000 and water meter $3000 but if you have city utilities that is best 3. Seal the roofs with a couple 5 gallon buckets 4. We always go right over the floors with 3/4 inch plywood and original Kilz then usually paint with Behr porch paint. So many people that rent from me have pets. We just repaint the floors on a tenant change and yes often the places look exactly like those. I would say typical. 5. Room by room got through through electrical. We put all new white switches, plugs, lights, whatever 6. Add new circuits for stove 6/3, hot water heater 10/2, dryer 10/3 as needed. We convert all to electric. Replace any handyman wiring. 7. Add GFI to countertop plugs and bathrooms 8. If walls need attention usually just new drywall and Kilz 9. We replace doors when possible with regular doors from Home Depot. That is usually the cheapest and easiest unless you have a mobile home source place that is cheap 10. Replace plumbing with Pex as needed with insulation, heat tape, and metal underpinning as needed. 11. We add a pressure treated ramp with double handrail and small front porch instead of stairs and usually add shingles to the ramp. 12. We started to add a back deck but found most could not care less so we just scrapped the idea. 13. I just do window units and space heaters which is bearable in Texas but would really like to install central HVAC to all 14. We occasionally add Vinyl plank to the bath and kitchens. Sounds like you got great carpet deal but we never had much luck. 15. I always replace toilets with chair height one piece toilets complete that run $149 at Home Depot. 16. Replace tub\shower combo and vanity as needed. 17. Paint and repair as needed 18. Kitchen cabinets can be tricky and expensive. Our go to is unfinished that we stain and standard laminate countertops I will say that most people that actually run parks SELL the mobile homes and charge a fee for the space. This GREATLY reduces your headaches. They have something to lose. If they get behind or abandon the park forecloses and repeats the process. If you want to be nice you can buy cheap if someone want to move saying you need to make money too. This way also you can enforce strict park standards an fine people that do not comply. People that essential are renting a space do not have regular tenant rights but they can't afford to move the home. The management is much less of a headache. The people actually like owning and just the lot rent is less. Of course as the park is full you can gradually raise rents to what the market can bear. I have seen parks even enforce porch and underpinning and color standards. Put out a monthly newsletter.

upvote if you want kevin to go evaluate the renovation ranch project

Real-life Trailer Park Boys

I love this "mini series". Seeing the other side of the coin and the lower income end. I started watching the investment joy channel because of these videos. Keep them coming Kevin

I live in Ohio, I can confirm he can do what he says for the price he says on those trailers. Habit for Humanity for example is just 1 of many organizations in Ohio that sells used and sometimes new cabinets, windows, doors and so much more to fix up house's, they'll even haggle on prices for stuff if you think is unreasonably priced.

This is very interesting. Kev, you have to trust this guy knows his business. He's tougher then we are .

This feels like a TV show

I applaud Brandon for the hustle... Not many people who would get their hands dirty like that. Excited to watch his progress! Definitely makes you appreciate Ventura, eh?

Kevin still sounds scared while doing the voice over lol 😂

This man is amazing! I really respect his rule of not renting a place if he himself would not live there. Well done Brandon!

I see a T.V. show in the making.

Here in Arizona you could make some good money with trailers, you know buy a acre of land plop a double wide down. Redo it and stucco the outside and you got a 200k house pretty easy.

The clash between middle america versus city. This is how the rest of the world operates man.

To seeing Kevin doing this daily, I really see the hard work going and wish you just all the success.

The 2000 dollar trailer is actually pretty spacious

I give Kevin a lot of credit for getting off the California island and actually seeing real estate investing in a different area! Good stuff Kevin! Good luck Brandon 👍. 10x that trailer park LOL.

I'd like to see an update on this project. Thanks for sharing!

Love the videos with Brandon in Ohio!

The comments for this video is just as interesting as the video itself. Yes folks, the US has a very wide range of incomes; a lot of those incomes are lower incomes. It's reality. BK

Brandon is awesome... down to earth! Very knowledgeable, his live streams are pretty good too!

Sweet Guy, giving someone a chance. Have to form an association to keep the trash out. Better than the sidewalk living in LA.

Kevin, I have to give you a tour of my rentals in East Cleveland. :) I have a 33 unit building i just snatched for 200k this fall that I will be renovating into the summer. Next time you are in Cleveland!

You could definitely do it for 7 grand a trailer ... I bought a trailer for 1500 I had to redo all of the plumming witch was about 4-500 it already had a new water heater and furnace needed all new walls and flooring flooring was 2500 including subfloor and walls 1500 new door with frame 400 the roof and I charge 750 a month for rent for a 3 bedroom 2 bath and it only cost 6400 total but I did all the repairs

Initial thought two blocks in Detroit

Never expected this collaboration lol. I follow his channel, he responds to everyone, and gives tons of valuable information for free. Good man!

*Owning mobile homes are not for the faint of heart but the cashflow is worth it.* 👍

I don’t think Kevin realizes how cheap places like Ohio are.

I worked as a locksmith for 12 years. A good eviction is one without human excrement in the floor.

"well I got good life insurance" HAHAAHA.. best line!

Great use of music, these videos are awesome giving you insight on different ways of investing!

Kevin, this is your best video with Brandon.

When you have to hold a gun in order to collect your rent check, we got some serious issues with our society🥴🥴🥴

Please come back in a year. I need to see this.

im dying of laughter at 14:22 when he climes in looks around and turns to you and shrugs with that smile and asks if u wanna come in

I really hope he succeeds so the follow up video can be titled "From Trailer Trash to Countin' Cash!"

This guy is a good man. My dad deals with very similar properties on a smaller scale and it really is a great social service he provides. Affordable housing tenants can be problematic but he gets great word of mouth, long term tenants and his tenants can afford to save up and buy a house of their own one day. He is also driven by the crappy places he experienced as a child.

19:16 Calling them "coaches" makes them sound dignified. "Sir, good day! Please come into my coach. Would you fancy a cup of tea, sir?" LOL!! 🤣

Brandon get a beanie on that scalp man, ik it’s cold 🥶

This was fascinating! Completely different way of looking at things haha

What a great opportunity. The.fact that Brandon is helping the community, upgrading the trailers, and potentially profiting 8k a month with no money down, actually being paid 15 to start! Thanks for sharing this deal. Look forward to seeing this project next year. Brandon my hat goes off to you.

*Not many real estate investors want to look into investing in mobile homes so there is likely a supply/demand advantage there*

I would build a gated community around the outside immediately, get my security guard and camera and dogs. They start making it pretty. Once you have it full you can pull back on security I suppose.

I love Investment Joy. I have watched all his videos. He is the ultimate real estate investment hustler. Kevin looked so nervous going into those trailers hilarious.

So disgusting that people trash a place just because they are being evicted. If you don't want to be evicted, pay your rent. If you can't, then leave gracefully. Why is it necessary to punish the landlord because of your misfortune?

Brandon is providing one hell of a service for unfortunate folks living at the very lowest levels of society. It probably isn't the nicest thing to laugh at Brandon and his tenants. Not everyone earns 100k per year. I also serve some of the poorest folks in America and I am very grateful for all of them. I treat all of my tenants with the greatest respect and love. In the final analysis, we're a lot more similar than you'd ever care to admit.

Kevin has to be the biggest pessimist I've ever seen. His attitude is so draining. I know Brandon couldn't wait for him to get lost so he can get to work. Hustle Hard.

Ahhh, the bed bug spray trick. Good idea to keep potential bidders out.

Kudos Brandon, Great to see someone giving affordable housing. Keeping costs down by not being to proud and finding great deals on materials. Keep it going.

My dad owned an apartment building in a bad area for many years and the tenants kept breaking stuff. There was this one single mom I remember who was broken up from her boyfriend but she took him back because he was stalking her. Her window ended up breaking somehow. She didn't pay for that, newsflash. "It's not my fault my boyfriend didn't do it either," ya, ok. He wouldn't stop coming in the building for her. She went back to him and left the apartment with her child. I always wonder what ever happened to her and her child. Everyone always fought and smoked everywhere. The child was obese and was fed nothing but junk. There was trash everywhere. She DESTROYED the appliances and the floor. The floor was so bad my dad had to pay for it meanwhile the lady should have. That lady is lucky my dad didn't call CPS on her. If I were not a kid back then I would have called CPS since we started seeing all this stuff. My dad always would call his tenants rats because most of them were very dirty and drinking, smoking, etc. They didn't care what they broke. It took so long to evict people because he needed to give them a warning before and he still didn't get all his rent money because they refused to pay because they couldn't afford it. Owning an apartment building is costly, dangerous dealing with drug addicts, alcoholics, people stuck in bad relationships, people not paying their rent, etc. I used to go with my dad to his apartment building and help him clean and he would always talk about how much he hated his tenants. I understand that tenants go through poverty but you need to pay your rent and at least talk to the landlord about when and how you can pay the rent eventually.

Kevin is underrated.

I live in Columbus. Real estate is all over the price spectrum here. It's cool too see you checking things out in Ohio.

I own a trailer park in Maryland. I have 48 trailers. The renos cost me just under 6K each. They rent for $500-750 depending on beds/baths. Some were not as in bad of condition as some of Brandon's. I've now owned them for 3 years. My initial overall cost was 235K. I've invested just shy of 300K after all is said and done. I have no laundromat as all of them have a WD. 2 of my trailers bring in no money because they're family members and I don't charge them for rent. One brings in a mere $250 per month because it's an older woman on SSI and she only brings in $663 per month. I don't have the heart to evict her as she's been there for 26 years. However, I make decent money with this park which is helpful to fund other investments.

I grew up in SoCal and have never lived like this. I don't even know anyone who lives like this. This is a whole different world and a different kind of person.

I Joke during showings that I have body armour for certain showings if needed 😂😂

you're getting better by the day Kevin. keep up the good work. subscribed

I'm from Ky. and been appraising and investing for twenty years , the best investment I have made is a 20 year old mobile home n barn on 2 acres . Paid less than 30k and have received 500 - 600 for the past 7 years . It will bring high 60's low 70 this spring when i put it on the market . Mobile home quality has improved from the 1970's and the parks are becoming obsolete in the Midwest . You shld stop doubting Brandon and maybe you could learn something from him .

These types of videos are great ! Brandon seem like a great guy trying to help his community in the way he know how..

Seven figures in physical gold would of earned him about $325 k in gold price jumps three months ago

The numbers are really solid on that trailer park- smart guy and a great niche

that tiny home park is a great idea honestly, just need to buy a patch of land and do a little development and some pads, and rent the spots.

mobile home parks can be nice, i live in one which just became a 55 or older community, so currently only those over 55 can purchase homes here or if we sell our home the primrary purchaser has to be 55 or older. luckily i moved in before this happened. But crime is low and neighbors are nice retirees

It's kind of interesting to see Kevin shooting down investment Joy's ideas! I've had ideas people shoot down and sometimes they her the best of you and you give up, but investment joy just explains what he's doing and moves on. Something to be learned there. Don't worry about what others think.

Lol we haul those to the landfill!!! We buy brand new single wides for $28,000 and sell them on contract for $40,000!!

Meet Kevin please keep Ohio houses affordable and avoid "Jacking up" the prices, most of Ohio Jobs are simple low paying jobs, we can't afford to follow the path of California on Housing. This man is doing a good job on maintaining affordability and livability despite some unknown people who damage stuff and leave behind all their items.

i buy trailer courts and i install a security home which patrols the site . no damage in five years .invest in security and avoid damages and raise your insurance for the properties to cover damges

“I got a gun on me so..” 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂😂😂

Loosing a few grand is nothing like loosing HUNDREDS of thousands

I’ve got 10 mobile homes I rent out but they all have a normal 100x50 lot with privacy fence each next to each other. Here in Texas I have them for rent for $700 each month. They cost between 10k to 25k in good condition, they paid for themselves and now it’s all money in my pocket.

All those trailers look like like a lot of work .

Kevin forgot to put this in perspective: if you stockpile money at a Bank for example, you are lucky to get even 1% p.a. This Trailer Park will net the investor more than 12% p.a. even though he is only 50% owner.

Bitconnnneeeccct! That's just one of the pro's of investing in dividend companies. You don't need to pack heat. Lol. Would be fun to see the "after" renovation mobile home pics. Nice cash flow, if you will take the risks...

NO THANKS... trailers are nothing but trouble. The units are always in need of repairs and the tenant profile is always rough!!!!!

I live in a mobile home myself and have done remodel on my own. He could make them livable for under 5k. Paint, used cabinets (craigslist), used appliances (craigslist or private sellers), plywood, drywall, and laminate flooring (lumber liquidators) and you have a decent looking mobile home. Its easier to fix a mobile home than it is a house (my opinion). I see the potential.

My rule, buy put 5k to 10k in them, to fix them up, and sale, never ever rent, your just digging a money hole! Also never rent to anyone who has a FICO score below 700, they are less likely to pay their rent!

Will you do a response video to Morris Invest’s KZfaq video titled “Why I would never invest in a 401k”??

I want to see him back in 6 months. If he has then 40 mobilhomes rented out it will be very good.

Dang this guy is really earning his cashflow... going into units strapped. But he’s really bringing up the community, providing affortable housing and making money. That’s awesome

Kevin looks ready to chain smoke a pack of L&M's this entire video.

KEVIN! THERE IS A REASON THEY ARE THAT CHEAP! 🔫

I worked for a non-profit weatherization program in Linn-county Oregon. Doing almost everything in the way of repair on 1950-2010 mobile homes. I see great profit in what you’ve done. You can create a nice community where people actually enjoy living in a (trailer park) I aspire to be that well off to be able to make smart investments like this.

I'm sorry, I've lived in this situation and the idea of it is degrading. However I do understand people need shelter. I'd rather do a solid, tiny home with nice landscaping and a privacy boarder

$800 parts and labpr installed for new furnace 😂, I wanna se that hack job!

Slumlord owning is the most stressful and overworked type. Not worth it

Using the term "homes" should be used lightly! PS, the sadness and disparity at the thought of living in a place like this would be overwhelming! Mid-west, cold, isolated, vacant of any charm, plants or trees. Just crap, lined up side by side by side! I can't even imagine living there! I'd prefer an army tent in the forest somewhere!

Stuff like this happens because of overemphasis on keeping resources from the "undeserving". UBI might help the economy.

Even though I would not do this type of investment it is very interesting to see. More please!

Brandon is the definition of hustle 👌👌

Wow brought 29 homes for 2000. Refix the houses and rent them out for $1,300 and your earning $37,000 a year

that 2000 dollar trailer park is way bigger than my apartment. wish I can get something like that in nyc.

Hey Kevin, my dad wants to remove his garage in a 1700 sqft home to add an extra 300/500 sqft by turning it into a bedroom I think it’s a horrible idea what do you think? Phoenix Az.

"I've got a gun on me", " That's what makes me nervous" - I thought Kevin was a Florida Man.

Brandon! I'm not sure if this is common around your area but a lot of trailer parks around me have a single car wash bay. The convenience to come home and wash the salt off after a commute is really nice for the tenants and generates some extra income.

Guys like Brandon are doing the community a huge service and making bank doing it. Everyone else is focused on the high-value properties, SOMEONE has to provide for the low-income tenants and be the one to fix up the properties no one else wants to touch. It's like he says, no risk, no reward.
