Key Takeaways:
“I love the fact that affordable housing is a big thing right now in the US. So if we were all getting super prosperous, you would need mobile home parks. But I’m a believer that we’re going down the drain. So the demand for affordable housing grows every day.” – Frank Rolfe
“Our unfair advantage probably is we’ve been doing this for so long. There’s so many people, every park that we buy, we can put it in a box based on past parts, we can just almost guess, from before we buy it exactly how it will turn out. So that’s probably our entry badges.” – Frank Rolfe
