Flipping Mobile Homes, Buying Land & Building Affordable Housing with Aaron Bihl

Aaron Bihl (00:00)
first one I did, because I had a buddy in Florida who started doing this before I did. And I think I bought one in, it was like 2021 when the market was crazy. Like you couldn’t like anything you sold, you know, sold over asked. And I started looking at these and I’m like, okay, I don’t know anything about these, but this seems like a deal, you know? And I just bought one, like not knowing, not knowing what, you know, what to do, if it could be fine. didn’t know any of that stuff and just kind of did it. But then I think you always like in my head, I’m like, who’s going to buy this? Like we did one.

We made almost a hundred grand on it. think we bought it for 80 and put like 45 in it and sold it for like 240, somewhere in that range. And I remember listing this and it was like, know, a quarter million dollars, a big mobile home, it like a four, two, 2200 square feet on acre and a half in Texas, right? But I still remember like we did it and there’s like numbers to support what we were listing it at. But I was like, who in the world is going to buy this

Micah Johnson (02:21)
Hello everyone. Welcome to the Real Estate Pros Podcast. I’m your host, Micah Johnson. And today I’m joined by Aaron, who’s been making some serious moves in real estate investing now for the last seven years. Aaron, welcome in, man. Glad to have you.

Aaron Bihl (02:32)
Thanks man, thanks for having me.

Micah Johnson (02:33)
Absolutely. I’m pumped for our talk today. You’re in a section of the industry that I really enjoy. I think it’s fascinating. It’s solving a lot of issues that we’re dealing with in the market in terms of affordability and shortages. So I’m pumped for others to hear your journey and what led you there. So to kick things off, man, tell us some more about yourself and what your main focus is right now.

Aaron Bihl (02:53)
Yeah, good question. So I am, ⁓ I’m in South Carolina in Greenville and for years I’ve kind of been, you know, wholesaler flipper sourcing off market deals is kind of my thing running an off market acquisitions company. now it’s almost solely focused on mobile homes, flipping mobile homes, buying land to do new mobile homes. And honestly, anything with mobile homes is kind of my sole focus currently in the South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia kind of region.

Micah Johnson (03:19)
Okay. All right, man. Take us back then. What led you here? How’d you get into real estate begin with? What was that world like pre-2019?

Aaron Bihl (03:26)
Yeah,

good question. ⁓ I was like the classic, like listen to bigger pockets, try to do everything you hear every week ⁓ while working a corporate job. Eventually quit that, ⁓ did the agent thing for a while, realized that’s not for me. I’m like the world’s worst real estate agent. Got linked up with a broker who focused on like investing, flipping, wholesaling, did a few deals there, kind of figured out that process, learned from him, eventually broke off to do that on my own.

and joined some groups to learn the whole sourcing off market deals side of the world. Because when I was with that broker, was literally just like, go find a deal and we’ll sell it or we’ll figure it out. there was no like, we didn’t have any marketing. was like I hired a VA. was just looking for stuff on Facebook, had no direction to any of that ⁓ and was somehow getting deals, but there was no consistency. So ⁓ started to look into some different groups, different people that are

doing the whole like off market acquisitions thing. And then I’ve just grown over the years of, you know, did, I don’t know, like 14, 15 deals the first year, did like 40 something the next year. And then I’ve been in that like, I don’t know, 50 to a hundred kind of ever since then. Just doing, you know, flips, wholesaling, kind of anything, everything in between.

Micah Johnson (05:33)
Right, right. Well, at that point, it starts to run off the ladder. It’s what’s the best dispo for that channel. But take us back through, because what I like for folk, we have folks listening that are and watching all along the spectrum early in it, been doing it for a long time for you and to kind of hit with those those folks that were early in it. How valuable was it to you to even one, have that that broker?

that was showing you how to do that. To go get that job, even you may have been the world’s worst real estate agent, but getting in there and doing those things, leading you there, looking back, how valuable is it to you now?

Aaron Bihl (06:05)
⁓ extremely valuable. So, you know, got connected with a hard money lender through that, a title company that specializes in doing like curative, you know, investor type title work. Just made really good connections. ⁓ So it’s a thing where I reached the point where it’s like, I’m giving up half or more of these deals that I feel like I’m doing, you know, kind of all the work on, but like at no point do I like regret doing that to kind of learn the process.

Micah Johnson (06:33)
Right. Real estate is a funny industry, man. It encourages insider trading. It’s like go, go get a job in it and learn how to do it. And it a little teach you how to do it. If you participate, that’s what I got started as an agent myself. And it’s just, sets you up. Like it may not be the greatest gig, but if you do it and kind of work through it with anything, you got to earn your stripes. And, it taught me for sure upfront, real estate is team sport. You can’t do anything by yourself in real estate. You got to go have those relationships and those take time.

Those don’t just like all of a sudden show up.

Aaron Bihl (07:04)
For sure, for sure. Yeah, and I think the thing that a lot of people maybe don’t understand too, once you want to make that jump from working for someone to kind of doing your own thing, especially if you’re buying off-market properties, there’s a lot that goes into the marketing of that. When I was in San Antonio, which is where I was for a long time, there’s some of the biggest wholesaling companies there, and people would leave them all the time not realizing like,

hey, you’re leaving this machine that feeds you. You think you’re doing it on your own, but you don’t see the hundreds of thousands of dollars kind of behind the scenes making the phones ring for you. So I think that’s the thing that people don’t always see is like, it takes a lot to get leads, get off market deals. You gotta really commit to that. there’s definitely costs associated with that.

Micah Johnson (07:51)
Right. It’s when you’re going to jump to doing it by yourself, you are now building a machine that’s going to it needs to trade in the commodity that you want. And that’s one of the things I find in the most successful real estate investors that build skilled businesses. They were always going to be the CEO of something. And they’re typically the CEO of multiple things at some point. Like they’re serial entrepreneurs. They like to run it because at that point it is it’s just a machine. And like you’re saying.

The folks that leave the feeding trough to go, like you may be really good at closing, but like you’re saying, you’re not doing four or five of steps that are before you even, your phone ever rang of how it actually gets to you. And when you’re responsible for making your own phone ring, that’s a different kind of pressure. That one folds people. They find themselves there.

Aaron Bihl (08:40)
For sure. Yeah, it’s funny too because a lot of people are like, know, hey, like don’t show your employees everything and I’m like, no, I’ll show them everything. I want you to see, you know, see the things I’m stressed out about. See, you know, the money I spend on things because like you probably don’t want it even if you think you do.

Micah Johnson (08:56)
Exactly. your nuts for newers is gonna leave. go ahead.

Aaron Bihl (08:59)
There’s always the like, don’t let like acquisitions talk to Dispo. And I’m like, it doesn’t matter. It’s fine. You know.

Micah Johnson (09:06)
Right. And your folks that are going to grow and go, they’re always going to do it. If you know they’re going to do it. And this is one thing I love about high level real estate. Most folks have the abundance mindset. They know, especially if you’ve built your off market channel, all I got to do is show up and go to work today. I’ve built my funnel. That’s going to feed me. Go ahead. Go ahead. If you can do it and go get your piece of the pie. Okay. Here, we’ll move some deals back and forth. And that’s like you’re saying, but most of them don’t want it.

Most of them have no, most people, and what’s funny for entrepreneurs, actually me and one of my coaches talked about this. You said you realize most people don’t want to do what you do, right? And it’s like, huh, that’s weird. Cause everybody I know likes to do what I do. He’s like, yeah, that’s because you’re, surrounded by people that do that. But most people don’t want that pressure in those things. And it’s like, yeah, that’s so true. that’s it’s so important to have a good team.

Aaron Bihl (09:55)
I’m still fucking crazy, people.

Micah Johnson (09:59)
So what’s your team up to now? What’s that look like?

Aaron Bihl (10:01)
Oh, so I have an acquisitions guy, I have a Dispo guy and then a few virtual assistants and then, you know, they’re kind of working on getting off market deals, selling off market deals, flipping them kind of in between. And I’m kind of bouncing around between all of it. A lot of my time has been on marketing and the sales side of thing and put everything in between as you’d kind of expect.

Micah Johnson (10:58)
Yeah, right on, man. Right on. Now, when you were getting into the direct to seller marketing world, what’s a pitfall you can help someone avoid? What’s something you learned, sadly, probably the hard way, that someone needs to pay attention to getting in?

Aaron Bihl (11:13)
I

think the biggest thing for me is I was like so anxious to like just jump in and then so I started doing mail and It was just kind of like cool like just send mail which now if I like I’m looking at a market I look at a lot different Whereas before you know, I One was just sending like a you know absenteeism with equity in San Antonio market of you know, two million people What’s the new?

You don’t know this, but then you find out like, the days of like that, like working and being cost effective are like far gone. ⁓ You know, hey, I called your mail piece. You’re one of 35 people I called to look at my house. So there’s that. And then there was a lot of just like not really knowing what or how to target stuff with mail. So, you know, I was targeting pretty much stuff with the most cash transactions, which, you know, good people were going to transact there, but

A lot of them were places I didn’t want to buy houses. I’m like, no, I don’t want to buy in the hood. I want to buy nicer houses. So that was a thing initially. I think I’ve learned a lot on the data side in general of how to target things, how specific to get, and how to look at a market. Where I think initially I was just kind of like, don’t know, these people said mail. Spend $10,000 on mail. Who cares? Just jump in.

Which like there’s some merit to, but now I’m just a lot more strategic about that. And you can kind of look at the size of a market, the demographics of it and be like, okay, like you’re in the Midwest and a small market, you probably don’t need to niche down a ton. But,

you’re in this huge competitive high-priced city. Like,

we probably do need to be more specific about that. So just those sort of things that you just learn with time of ⁓ data, how to look at it, what to go after, all that stuff.

Micah Johnson (12:58)
It’s you nailed a man and you learn it as you go how especially that data part I used to work with a data company and I call it treasure maps for real estate investors. If you learn how to read it and understand what it’s saying, it reveals to you what the target I love how you’re thinking about it because you’re right. You’re more heavily competitive markets the better and faster you can get at your person. That’s how you win.

The smaller the ones, you’re right. You can relax a little bit more, but then looking for those specific people, because again, we’re not looking for your typical thing. It’s someone willing to sell at a discount, right? And there’s certain things that are happening in someone’s lives, especially if you’re dealing with a single family home that

are causing that, right? And you can leverage that data. You got to do it in a humane way. I always remember most of our customers are going through a hard time. However, the information available can really be useful in tracking,

You’re actually going through a really hard problem right now. You need a service like mine. You need what I do. And when it’s done that way, man, how many people have you had thank you for helping you through their problem and didn’t care at all about how much money you made?

All but that’s what really is where what we do stands out.

Aaron Bihl (14:05)
Absolutely.

Micah Johnson (14:06)
One is, okay, so now you’re more into buying land, putting in mobile homes. Let me ask you this. What’s the, when you’re buying, you flip mobile homes too. Is there a big difference in the process for that versus single family?

Aaron Bihl (15:00)
Not really. Honestly, I prefer doing mobile homes over stick built houses. Because the stuff we’re buying, if you’re going to be able to sell FHA on the back end, needs to be, I think it’s 1976 or newer, maybe it’s 78. I just call it 80 to be safe because I’ve ran into that before. So I just don’t buy them if they’re pre 1980. But as long as they are, you can sell them FHA, but also everything’s going to be fairly up to date. You’re not, you know,

re-plumbing, re-wiring a lot of these. ⁓ You’re not going in and moving walls because they’re purpose-built in a factory. The layout’s gonna be functional. ⁓ So it’s mainly cosmetic stuff. We’ve had one last year we were in and out of in two and a half weeks and we did pretty much everything cosmetic on it. So ⁓ some of those we can just get in and out really quick and they’re more rural areas so less oversight. The city’s not stopping by to check your projects. Just that kind of stuff I really like.

But in general, pretty similar process. The finish level doesn’t need to be anything crazy. It’s more just like cosmetics, make it clean. The biggest thing that is still an issue, but it was a really big issue when I started doing this in like 21, 22. The thing that you get is like, a lot of times you have to replace sub floors. They’ll be made with like MDF and they’ll be like soft and weak.

when plywood was a bajillion dollars a sheet that got really expensive. But other than that, it’s really kind of the same process. I would just say it’s generally more simple.

Micah Johnson (16:31)
It’s what I like about it is it I flipped one property and I did not enjoy the process. Actually, I did two. One is the guy swinging the hammer. The other one has the guy who owned the property and swung the hammer. So it taught me I just didn’t really enjoy that process. But I love what flippers do because you take a property that’s typically

Someone else can’t fix and you bring it back to life. Families get to live there, enjoy there, be there again. That’s one of the things I love about real estate. It’s a deeply human industry. Every product you build is for a human being to be in, And the mobile home, even when you put in new ones, I love the feeling that you get, because it is. You’re coming from land up till, man, here’s this place that you can live. I know you weren’t on installing them yet, anyways. Just thinking about mobile homes. Down on it, but in the right spot.

Aaron Bihl (17:13)
And I think that

Micah Johnson (17:16)
It’s normal. I grew up in one.

Aaron Bihl (17:19)
Well, that’s like the first one I did, because I had a buddy in Florida who started doing this before I did. And I think I bought one in, it was like 2021 when the market was crazy. Like you couldn’t like anything you sold, you know, sold over asked. And I started looking at these and I’m like, okay, I don’t know anything about these, but this seems like a deal, you know? And I just bought one, like not knowing, not knowing what, you know, what to do, if it could be fine. didn’t know any of that stuff and just kind of did it. But then I think you always like in my head, I’m like, who’s going to buy this? Like we did one.

We made almost a hundred grand on it. think we bought it for 80 and put like 45 in it and sold it for like 240, somewhere in that range. And I remember listing this and it was like, know, a quarter million dollars, a big mobile home, it like a four, two, 2200 square feet on acre and a half in Texas, right? But I still remember like we did it and there’s like numbers to support what we were listing it at. But I was like, who in the world is going to buy this

thing? Like, but then like you, you know, you look at it you’re like, okay, what’s the family there?

want plenty of space. probably want to do things outside, have cars and trucks and want the land. And they’re probably also priced out of that house in the city. So a lot of times you get like Greenville is where I’m at now has like completely blown up. Like prices are insane here, but you get 20, 30 minutes out. You’d be on a half acre with a brand new remodeled mobile home for 225, 240, something like that. So

It seems to be in those areas where maybe living ⁓ more urban is expensive, but hey, I get outside the city, I can still have a pretty nice place that’s mine. Taxes are lower, payments are lower ⁓ than a comparable house, and it just is a good fit for a lot of people. And some of these mobile homes are pretty nice, and when we flip them, they’re pretty nice. It’s not like…

Micah Johnson (19:04)
product. The last one I was in, it’s not what I grew up in. I grew up in that 1979 or 80s single wide trailer. You know what saying? What everybody thinks about when you think about it. Yes, yes, yes, dude. All of that, man. Me and my brother loved it because it has one long hallway. You could just run and slide down the whole hallway. ⁓ it’s not those. You’re absolutely right. These are beautiful

Aaron Bihl (19:18)
Sighting wood paneling.

Micah Johnson (19:33)
homes to go live in and you’re nailing on who goes to live in them. There’s an area that I’m working on this in Florida where like you’re exactly what you’re talking about in Greenville. You get into the right spot for a hundred to $150,000 less. You can have an acre with a brand new home versus a stick built home on a quarter acre with an HOA. Like what do you want really? I mean,

For most people in those kind of towns, you want the land, you want the expansion, you want that. You can always build a house later. You own the land. Like that’s the thought process as it goes into it. And heck man, the newer, newer ones are coming out. I’ve seen some folks put them on foundations. I would, you wouldn’t know unless someone told you that was a manufactured home and put there, you would have no idea.

Aaron Bihl (20:18)
Yeah, I mean the one we just did, mean it has whole brick skirting foundation like it’s nice and even like I knew we weren’t buying like you know some like really like run down like cheap one but I like walked in and I was like I would live here like nice.

Micah Johnson (20:33)
Yeah, yeah, give me the space. what is, ⁓ let’s talk about financing in that world because mobile home financing is a funny thing. What is someone that’s interested in that space? What do they need to be prepared for there?

Aaron Bihl (20:45)
Yeah, that’s a good question. So we talking flipping or putting new ones on land? direction?

Micah Johnson (20:50)
Let’s

go through both. Let’s start with flipping though and then we’ll jump to the installation.

Aaron Bihl (20:55)
So,

yeah, so flipping’s pretty similar to just, you know, like a hard money loan you’d get for a house that you’re flipping. There’s a lot of lenders that will do them. The tricky part becomes if they want them detitled. So there’s a whole process of, you know, when you get it, it acts like a car title, right? You get, go to the DMV, have a title. There’s a process to like retire that title, you know, so it functions as tax like a house, right? So a lot of lenders are going to want those detitled.

which depending on where you are can be a very easy process or a very complicated process. In Texas where I did them, they were done at a statewide level. It’s all the same for every house. It was really simple. Our title company did them. In South Carolina, they are done on a county level and it is a absolute mess because it’s different everywhere and you never know what you’re getting. ⁓ But so a lot of hard money lenders are going to want those detitled, but then they’ll lend on like a normal house. ⁓ Similar terms, you know, up to 75 % of ARV minus repairs, yada, yada, yada.

⁓ so there’s, then I think that’s growing a lot, ⁓ because a lot of that’s happening in South Carolina. So more lenders are trying to figure out like, Hey, how do we get in this? Cause there’s a lot of activity there. So, ⁓ I primarily finance mine with, you know, private money. So, ⁓ just connections over the years. ⁓ and then when we get into new mobiles on land, I would say it’s even

Currently it’s even more difficult ⁓ because then you have this process of, like I have private money lenders doing them for me and they’re fine with it, but I have to take some steps, more precaution, probably don’t need to, but I do, of like, hey, we’re gonna buy the land up front. ⁓ We’re gonna be all in this for call it 150,000. The day we purchase the land, you’re gonna wire over 40 or 50 so we can buy the land, start prepping it, doing all that. But I don’t want you to send me.

$150,000 when I don’t have a home yet. ⁓ So

I, you know, in a little more cautious

with that, ⁓ there are some hard money lenders here that are starting to do ⁓ them for land home packages. ⁓

I think it’s a new product just because, you know, they’re trying

to figure that out too. Like, hey, how do we, how do we, you do draws on this and how do we make sure we’re protected?

yes, in theory, like,

It never

has a title. It’s sent directly to an attorney to become real property, but you’re still like, you still bring the thing in on wheels. So, right.

Right. I think that’s one of the pieces right now

that’s tricky, but also an opportunity. ⁓ cause everyone I know doing is just doing them with either their own cash or private money. So.

Micah Johnson (23:29)
That’s same

here. That’s what I’ve heard too. And even working on it myself, that’s what I had to go put together was private money for it because it’s, and I was like, I was just at an event last week and I was talking to a lender like, man, whoever solves that problem, they will have really done something. If you can solve it and figure out how to do it because it’s an emerging market with the way things are going, these secondary and tertiary markets outside of cities, it’s where you have to go. Where are you going to go? There’s nowhere to go.

And so we have a shortage and it takes how long to build a house and how long to install a mobile, right? mean, nowhere near the time. mean, it’s boom, you are in, you’re out, you’re solving these problems. And I think it really helps people too, man. Like in the long run, the fact that you own that property, what you’re able to deliver on the other side. I know some folks, they’re doing it and…

selling them outright, you holding the notes, creating long-term cash in the bank. There’s a lot of options that start to create this. But in these areas that need these places, like that human side comes back out. You’re providing a really good product. You’re doing a really good thing in areas where they need places to live. This is the issue.

Aaron Bihl (24:38)
Yeah,

and I think the thing that I’m excited about personally is as we’re, I’m not gonna get away from flipping mobile homes, but we’ll probably go a lot heavier on land home packages because it’s just like quicker, more predictable. I mean, you still have in some ways the same, all the same things of like, you you still have four five different contractors that are doing, you know, what, just like on a flip, you know, you have your plumber, you have your electrician. It’s like, cool, have your guy setting up, you have a land, you have.

similar stuff, but the biggest thing that I think will be a factor is they’re going to be FHA eligible day one. And I

don’t want to wait that 90 days after flipping it.

So that’s like super appealing to me. And just the fact that like, regardless of how well you remodel a house, someone’s going to complain about something. They’re

going to ask you to do something. And a lot of these,

the buyers we’re working with trying to be tactful, it’s like,

they don’t always have the most money, you know, right? So it’s like, hey, their down payment is like what they have. ⁓ You know, so it’s like some of the kind of lower price point buyers I’ve found are the hardest to deal with. ⁓ I have a mobile home right now that’s been on a contract five times and falling out because of their finances five times. So it’s like the nice thing or what I think will be even more appealing on the new land home package is like,

Hey, it’s brand new. Like it’s all warrantied. You have a brand new AC, a brand new root. Like you literally have everything brand new. Like maybe, maybe you find something you don’t like or maybe the deck’s wrong. You know, like there might be some minor things, but I just think there’s going to be a lot less friction of getting stuff sold too. ⁓ and then I can just market to lots and kind of like sell them as we need them or kind of hold like buy them, hold onto them and kind of control that whole process a little more than like,

handy to flip, am I gonna get a house?

Where if I’m buying

Micah Johnson (26:25)
Exactly. It’s up in the market.

Aaron Bihl (26:28)
lots for, know, 5, 10, 15 K, it’s like, I can just sit on them, you know? So there’s

a lot of things about it that I’m pretty excited about.

Micah Johnson (26:36)
Same, man, same.

It’s where, now let me ask you this. So I like to point out to people this, you’ve been on a seven year journey, got started in a more fix and flip world and made this transition. One thing I love about real estate is this ability to pay a really good financial paycheck, but at same time, your emotional paycheck. You can go find that thing that you like to do. Like the process itself gets you excited.

What about mobile homes does that for you?

Aaron Bihl (27:02)
⁓ I mean, I think like it’s, one of those where you’re actually like filling a need, like actually providing affordable housing, which I’m not like, I guess I’m more involved on the acquisition side. So a lot of like dealing with people as they’re going through self-selling houses where it’s like very emotional. ⁓ not as much on the, you know, kind of sale side, but you know, I think the, the new mobile home thing is very much like fitting a need that’s out there and you’re providing a good product. ⁓

But yeah, I mean, I don’t get super tied to the, ⁓ you know, hey, I’m doing this amazing thing. Like, you know, I want to provide a good product. I want people to, you know, like that and, you know, be a good steward of the money I make along the way. So, ⁓ but I think I get much more involved on, which is good and bad. The whole lot thing is a lot less emotional than buying houses, which is like, we, like we bought one actually last Friday and you know,

Micah Johnson (27:52)
much.

Aaron Bihl (27:56)
the lady inherited it from a friend. And it was just like, there’s just a lot of emotions with it. And, you know, in some ways she thought my team wasn’t like, you know, sensitive to that, which was probably true. Like we probably dropped the ball on some of that where it’s like, Hey, this is one of 15 transactions. Where sometimes you forget there’s like, Hey, most people don’t really sell houses. You inherited this. Like there’s a lot going on there, which I’m used to dealing with, but like,

The lot stuff is in some ways a breath of fresh air because like no one’s like grandma lived on the lot, you know, like a

Micah Johnson (28:30)
Exactly

Aaron Bihl (28:32)
lot of times it’s like, I’m

just paying taxes on this thing. So, ⁓ that side, I’m, I mean, I like the people side of things, but sometimes it’s nice to be like, okay, there’s just no emotion. Like I give you the price you want. Like we both win. Like life’s good. ⁓

Micah Johnson (28:48)
Look, man,

it’s why I shifted over there. That other conversation gets heavy.

It’s a heavy one. if you’re, if you’re

someone who’s like an emotional person, you experience emotion big it’s taxing because you are listening. A lot of times you can’t even help the person, but you also can’t get off the phone because they’re going through such a hard time. You’re just trying to help them. Like, my God, I’m so sorry. This is happening.

I mean, deals, they couldn’t even give me their house and I could make money on it, but they’re still going through this hard time. It’s that that’s the part I want. If you’re getting into real estate, most folks don’t warn you about if you’re dealing with single family residential in particular, buying off market. Typically they’re going through a really hard time. So you got to have some emotional intelligence on how to handle those conversations where land, like you’re saying, way less. You’ll run into it sometimes, but it’s way more of a math problem.

than a human problem. And that was the same kind of breath fresher I got. And that’s what I like about real estate. You don’t have to leave the industry to find that next thing you want to do. Like where just lets me grow and keep going. It’s the only industry I’ve ever found that all my life experience counts, weirdly enough. Like

everything you’ve ever been through, you can leverage it into real estate,

I promise, in some way.

Aaron Bihl (30:02)
Yeah, that’s

a good point

Micah Johnson (30:04)
So what’s your big goal this year? Where are you trying to get to in the next 12 months?

Aaron Bihl (30:09)
Yeah, so I would

to get to the point where we’re 10 plus of these new mobile homes a month, probably still flipping here and there. ⁓ But plan is kind of like, you know, do them as much as we have, ⁓ you know, private money available for and then wholesale some here and there, buy some, ⁓ you know, mobile home park, self storage, some other commercial properties to, you know, kind of build more cash flow because, ⁓ you know, offset some of the gains from

Hopefully flipping mobile homes is kind of the plan is buy some stuff to hold onto and then the mobile home stuff just be very transactional with.

Micah Johnson (30:42)

question. So probably the best place is Instagram. It’s just Aaron.bihl and you’ll see me walk in houses, crazy stuff, all of that. ⁓ And then if you want to work with me on trailers and whatever capacity, the best place to find me there is either, you know, mess with me on Instagram or go to fliptrailers.com Kind of a program where people can partner with me on deals if they want to do that and all the information is there.
