Charles:
Welcome to another episode of the Global Investors Podcast; I’m your host, Charles Carillo. Today, we have Ryan Hill. He was previously an elementary school principal after teaching high school science for 13 years while simultaneously being a real estate agent involved in over $40 million in transactions. Today, Ryan is the Chief Operating Officer at Suncrest Capital, a mobile home investment firm, and he works closely with community managers to ensure optimal occupancy and expenses. So thank you so much for being on the show today.

Ryan:
Yeah, thank you for having me, Charles. Appreciate it.

Charles:
So you have a very interesting story before getting into what you currently do. Can you give us just a little bit of a background personally and professionally before getting into real estate investing and ultimately into mobile home parks?

Ryan:
Sure. Yeah, I, so I, as you mentioned, I was in education for about 22 years. So I, I started out as a, as high school science teacher for 13 years and coached a bunch of sports, and that was before marriage. And, and then that took a bit of a backseat o obviously, for priorities, and then got into real estate in 2008 2000 just started 2009. So perfect timing with the market collapsing and the housing market kind of I imploding. So and, and the reason was, but it, you know, we, my son was, was born just a few months earlier working as a teacher and the just like cost of daycare and everything. I was like, I’ve, I’ve gotta gotta do a side hustle, gotta do something else. Always been interested in real estate. I, you know, read Rich Dad, poor Dad, like a lot of people, you know, a few years before that.

Ryan:
And just dove in a rough couple of years to get started just as a residential real estate agent during that time while I was teaching and, and still doing some coaching. Then I partnered up. I, I, I’m a strong believer in partnership, so I partnered with another teacher, realtor who was, ended up being a, a mentor and friend. So we did that for about 12 years. And then it was time for a move from Washington State to Idaho where I live now get closer to other family. And I didn’t wanna rebuild the residential real estate clientele in a different state. And where I am in Idaho, I can throw a rock and probably hit about five realtor houses. So there, there were plenty of them. So I, I had been researching mobile home parks for probably about a year, year and a half before, before that move, I’d been listening to a lot of podcasts connecting with other park owners.

Ryan:
And this was right before there were, now there’s, there’s a few really solid mobile home park in investing podcast out there. There are just a couple at the time, Frank Rolfe Mobile Home Park Mastery and is the first one I started listening to. Started doing some mailers and cold calling, trying to find properties before we, before we moved and, and hadn’t done that yet. So we moved in 2019. I was still a principal here in Idaho for three years, all the way up until about a year and a half ago. So we had, we bought our first park in 2019. My, my wife and I, and that was a small 20 space park just south of Kansas City, about 40 minutes. It’s a small town in, in Lae. And just kinda dove in and <laugh>, as much as I knew wasn’t, wasn’t enough. I, I am sure we’ll talk about that a little bit more as we go in. But at some point you gotta start and you know, you’re gonna make mistakes and, and learn from ’em. And so that’s background of kind of the intertwining of my W2 with, along with real estate and transitioning from that residential real estate agent into more of a commercial.

Charles:
So I always like to ask people how they got into their asset classes. And I, I know, you know, mobile Home Park, like, like a lot of residential based asset classes here in the last few years have really taken off, I think with multi-family really leading that. But why did you choose mobile home parks over, I mean, there’s literally a dozen types of commercial asset classes you can invest into.

Ryan:
Yeah, absolutely. And we do have, we have a small retail center and three RV parks as well, which are very different than mobile home parks. But the original mobile home park, I I had a friend that he was, he was managing the mobile home park that his father-in-law owned. And so I, I was intrigued by kind of what I was hearing and learning and, and like, wait, you can, you can buy a whole mobile home park for the cost of a single family home. You know, I’ve got, and, and a small, you know, granted a smaller one, but even a, a 10 space park that’s that’s getting $300 lot rents you know, your, you’re cash flowing much better than a single family home would be. And your, your risk is mitigated by the occupancy, right? A single family home, it’s a hundred percent or 0% occupancy.

Ryan:
There’s, there’s no no in between. So, as we know with multifamily, that, that obviously changes the script. So so the, the entry cost for this asset class is, is much less than a lot of others that I found. And then just, just doing the, the basic math with, with it, I was like, this, this makes total sense. Like, it, and it, it wasn’t yet, I think it, it’s now become a darling asset in a way, like the secret’s out. And it, it wasn’t at that point, but it, it’s changing still. Like it, I think the perception has changed for for that asset class. Let’s

Charles:
Kinda move forward here and tell us a little bit about your company, Suncrest and your role at the firm.

Ryan:
Sure. So my, my business partner Brett Bowman, he, he we connected in 2020. And I, I had through a mutual friend and we, he was interested in mobile home parks, and he and his, his friend had just been talking about it. I had just come back from my mobile home park doing some work on, I, I was repairing a roof, I think, and, and, and came back and, and they wanted to, to talk mobile home parks. So there, there was another park about a half mile down the road from that first one in em that was off market. I knew the, knew the seller and we, we ended up the three of us going in together and purchasing that. Nice Brett had a background in investing in multifamily and doing syndications and underwriting. So those, those weren’t my skill sets at the time.

Ryan:
So my operational experience, which was still not super long time, but had, had some expertise in it. And then his background with being able to syndicate and, and understanding more of the, the depth of underwriting needed. We started Suncrest up and the first portfolio we purchased was a four park portfolio in Iowa mostly around the Des Moines area. And we syndicated that. And from there, most of our properties have been groups of mobile home parks. They’ve been syndicated from three to six. And then we’ve added some RV parks in the, the one retail center, as I mentioned along the way. So most of it’s, most of it’s centered in the Midwest, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri. Our most recent acquisition, we only did one in 2023. We underwrite a ton of ’em but just with economic conditions and, and it, it’s just thin on paper trying to underwrite these deals. So we, we found a fairly solid off market deal that’s cash flowing like a monster. And that’s just south of, yeah, just south of New Orleans. Long term RV park that we’re excited about.

Charles:
Yeah, 2023 was very difficult for finding deals, I’ll tell you that. I mean, we didn’t even do one deal in 2023. We did a couple in 20, 22, 2 mainly at the end of it. But it was 2023, a very difficult year. Lots of underwriting and lots of disappointment, I guess you’d say. But al but also seeing deals that have been going south now from the last two years, you’re very happy when you look back and you go, wow, there’s tons of deals we could have done that now have gone the wrong way. So it’s you gotta kind of stick to those numbers and your principles. So, you know, on my first real estate investment, decades back I mean, I could almost write a small book on the, the learning lessons from it. Right. And stuff that you just take for granted now, or someone tells you on a podcast. But what are some of the learning lessons from your first mobile home park investment?

Ryan:
Yeah, so the, the first one, I, I really, I didn’t have enough in reserves for there, there are a number of park owned homes. So you know, we’re renting, renting the home or, or at least own the home that needed quite a bit of work, and I wasn’t prepared for that with, from a, a, a, you know, a money standpoint. So it’s, as those came along and things needed to be repaired, floors needed to be redone, furnaces, whatever it might be, I didn’t anticipate how much i I would actually need for that. So we, you know, we factor, we’re, we’re, everyone says they’re conservative in their underwriting, and we’re, I think we, we’ve gotten more conservative over time as we’ve learned more of these lessons with home repairs. But a big one also is the utilities and, and making sure you’re, you’re, if you know, we’ve gotten bit by water, like water systems that need to be redone sewer lines that you know, that you’ve got some Orangeburg in there, which is basically a reinforced cardboard sewer line that they did way back in like the fifties and sixties, that should have never been in the ground.

Ryan:
So we’ve, you know, we’ve come across that before. So I think our, our due diligence has gotten much stronger over time as we’ve learned through these learning opportunities slash mistakes <laugh> that can sometimes be expensive. So I think a, a couple of things is the capital upfront, making sure that, that you have enough or unforeseen things that are gonna pop up, and that then your due diligence on, especially infrastructure is super solid, and your, your scoping lines your, your calling around to other contractors in the area, just finding out the history of, of the parks. We’ve passed on parks just by doing that, like, just, you know, multiple plumbers, for example, say, I won’t even go into that, that community or that park to do any work. It’s a landmine of utilities, nothing’s marked. I start digging and it’s going to cause chaos with whatever. I’m gonna cut through electric lines or sewer lines or water lines. So we’re like no, I, I don’t wanna get involved in that one.

Charles:
So in underwriting deals, I imagine you have a, a number of strict requirements for metros you invest into. Can you share some of those with us? Because with how your parks are, you know, you have ’em all over the, the Midwest, I think for the most part. How do you find out this could be a good metro, and what are some of the factors that go into that?

Ryan:
Yeah, so I, I think for a, a new metro, and we, we do look at new metros. So we’re looking at, we, we’d prefer 75 to a hundred thousand plus population within the metro, 40,000 plus for median family income, and then a hundred thousand dollars plus for the, the average home sale price. And that, and that’s, that’s because if we’re selling brand new homes at 60, $70,000, we don’t want to be competing against, you know, used homes that have their, you know, their own postage stamp of land and that type of thing. So we’ve, we’ve passed, that’s, that’s our initial, like less than five minute due diligence of a deal comes our way. Whether, whether it be through a broker, a cold call or a mailer or something like that. We just, we quickly look at the best places stats, and if they don’t hit hit that those marks population we will play with a little bit.

Ryan:
But usually we’ll pass on the others if it’s in, if it’s a park within a metro, we’re in. So we, right now we’re, we’re centered around like Kansas City area, Des Moines and Springfield, Missouri. So those are our main hubs. Now. We have parks outside of that that we’ve gotten a great deals. But within those, those areas, we’ll, we’ll buy a smaller park, like 20 or 30 spaces if it makes sense, just because we have the, the scale there and we have the, the person power and contractor relationships to make it work. But we wouldn’t likely buy a 20 or 30 space park somewhere where that we have no presence unless it may be like Denver, Colorado or something like that. So those are, those are the basics that we’re looking for. We prefer park, or sorry, tenant owned homes. We don’t, we don’t like the rental game. And we, if we do get park owned homes, we, we try to sell those off or lease to own. And we have a number of financial, you know, we’re, we’re partners with Pep Triad 21st just to name a few that we can help people get financing for these homes. So

Charles:
Yeah, that’s great. I was also looking on your website and you guys are on your community website and you guys are actively selling homes and, you know, as I’ve spoken to any successful mobile home operators and it’s really getting out of the rental owning property and renting game and back into, and just staying in the lane of renting out lots.

Ryan:
Yeah. And there, there is, you know, there are people that do like the other model. It, it just, you have to have solid systems and people in place that know what they’re doing looking at those homes frequently and maintaining them. And if, if you do, you can make more money that way, but it is a lot more time and capital intensive than the model we prefer.

Charles:
Yeah. It’s also, I mean, when we’re going into apartment complex, there’s a lot of, when, you know, you’re putting in a huge reserves for a lot of unknowns, and yeah, you can walk properties, but you’re in the units for five minutes, you know what I mean, if that so you’re really just grading ’em on what you see and you’re walking to the next one. And so I see there’s a lot more room for unknowns when you start taking on the almost rental apartment type business, right? Compared to just knowing that your infrastructure is sound and that people have been there, and whatever due diligence that you do on your tenants,

Charles:
Do you have money sitting in the stock market? And you’re worried about it or worse. You have money sitting at the bank, not keeping up with inflation. My name is Charles Carillo, founder and managing partner of Harborside Partners. And since 2006, I’ve been investing my money and my family’s money into income producing properties.

That’s investwithharborside.com.

Charles:
Yeah. So I, you know, as I read earlier in your, in your bio you work with community managers and you drive efficiency. So after working with you know, dozens of mobile home parks, I mean, what are some of the normal inefficiencies that you encounter? I imagine you encounter this during your due diligence and your underwriting, and how do you typically rectify those issues after you’ve taken control of the property?

Ryan:
Yeah, that’s great question. There’s, there’s so many systems that you have to have in place to make sure that the, the main things are being taken care of, obviously the, the, the rental collection. And then people are following the rules. They’re, they’re, they’re paying to play and they’re playing by the rules. And then the, the CapEx projects that we have planned as well that, that a lot of moving parts and, and organization. So as, as a organization, we, we read the book Traction by Gina Wickman, that so we’ve implemented the EOS system. So we have, we have weekly leadership meetings that follow that system. I, I highly recommend anybody to, to read that, just it’s, it was a game changer for us and efficiencies and follow through and accountability. So it’s just, it’s making sure that if, if you, you know, if I’m meeting with community manager or regional manager and we’re going through like delinquents for example, and we’ve, we’ve gotta hit our, our two late notices and then a three day payer quit, and then we’ve gotta send it off to the attorney.

Ryan:
And a lot of times that stuff can get dropped and it’s, so it’s having systems in place that are setting reminders follow up, just making sure that those pieces are being taken care of. So your, like, your collections aren’t dropping down maintenance within the parks, if they, you, we’ve, we’ve had situation where the city has, has like given us a warning for the grass is too, too high. And we, we thought we took care of it, and then four months later, the grass got too high again, and now the city comes in and they, they mow the whole thing and charges like 2,500 bucks for this small little park that should have taken a a few hours, right? So it’s, you know, those, those types of mistakes were made. And then you, you rectify it with systems to make sure that those things are being followed through with when, when they’re supposed to be. So those are, I think, the EOS and we use Trello as, as our project management board and tracking tool. So you can set the reminders on there. It’s, yeah. So that, that’s been super helpful in organizing this.

Charles:
Yeah, Trello is a game changer for our business, I have to say that. But it’s, it’s just, I use it personally and then we use it within our businesses and it’s something that’s, there’s so many moving parts, parts with any of the businesses and it’s just keeping on track of it, keeping on top of it and making sure that when someone you’re working with is looking at what their next step is or what they’re doing, you have a plan there of what the goals are that we’re focusing on.

Ryan:
Yeah, for sure. And we, we have probably around 200 park owned homes and a number of those are vacant, the need rehab, a number of them are leased to own, so they’re, they’re essentially sold, but mm-hmm, <affirmative>, we have to keep track of all of those. And it’s, it becomes a bit of a nightmare ’cause you, you have the titles because the, the mobile homes are treated as personal property, like a vehicle for those that, that don’t know. So they have a title just like your car or truck or boat. So just the logistics of keeping track of all of that is is quite a bit. So Trello’s very helpful just to have a card for each one and you can move it down the line as you’re rehabbing and listing and selling.

Charles:
So the last one question just before we kind of move on to the next section is just when you are selling one of these homes say it’s vacant. ’cause If someone’s in there, obviously you probably sell it with the same condition, right? They’re living in there, they’re renting it from you, you get them to buy it from you, or at least own or whatever type of creative financing solution. I doubt these people are, are your tenants are paying cash for ’em upfront. Maybe some are, but I feel there’s a lot of financing with it. What happens when you have a vacant one? Are you guys renovating this, rehabbing this, updating this at all before you bring in the tenant and putting them in that leased owned situation?

Ryan:
Yeah, great question. It’s really all of the above. So we offer, we offer all of them as a handyman special is mm-Hmm, <affirmative>, right? And, and the, you know, people come in and, and, and fix ’em up. And they’re, they are, we do a lease to own contract. So, so our, our goal is to create home ownership for the, for people that have never had that. So through the lease to own, a lot of people have dings on their credit where they can’t they, you know, they, they obviously can’t qualify for financing. So we will do the lease to own contracts, but how we structure it is the payment’s gonna be a bit higher than once they do qualify for financing. ’cause It, we, we want some incentive for them to do that. But we’ve also started, just a few months ago, we’ve partnered with a Susu E-S-U-S-U, and they, they will report on time rent payments for our tenants.

Ryan:
And they, they don’t report anything negative. It’s only positive credit reporting. So another company that that we partner with Elevate Capital they’ve been using it for quite a while, and like for in an entire mobile home community, their, I, I believe their credit score average went up about 50 points. Wow. For those folks just doing that game changer. Yeah, it totally is. And so people that have maybe a 400, 450 credit score within four or five months, we can get ’em up to, I think five 50 is the minimum for our, our finance partnerships get ’em above. That is our, is our goal, so that we can, we can get the financing. It is their home. They’re paying the, the morg, the mortgage on it, so to speak. So but we are, we’re also piloting a program that I’m excited about that we’re, we’re just starting using investor dollars to fund the rehab of the home for a profit share.

Ryan:
So let, let’s say the, the home costs $20,000 to rehab, the investor will front that we know there’s margin. We’ve been selling these homes that, that have been rehabbed to this extent for 30 to $40,000. So there’s 10 to $20,000 of upside. And the investor will get 80% of that part gets 20%. We’re creating a home for somebody. So hopefully it, it becomes a win-win win for everybody involved. If it’s a lease to own, the investor gets those, those interest payments they’ll get 80% of whatever the LTO is. So we’re trying to keep it very simple with that 80 20 split. So we, we’ve, we have five homes that we’re starting towards the end of this month just to prove proof of concept and then we’ll, we’ll roll it out to more of our communities and also extend that opportunity out to other community owners.

Charles:
Yeah, that’s a, that’s a great solution for people because now they’re getting this new home for 30 or $40,000 and they can focus on paying it off and not having to worry about, you know, making repairs and everything over the first five or 10 years, you know what I mean? So that’s, that’s great. So, well for Ryan for people listening who might wanna leave their safe job and go out on their own I mean, what was your decision process like for you and your family, and what was the deciding, you know, the ultimate deciding factor of you to go out?

Ryan:
Sure, yeah. And it is gonna be different for everybody. I, I feel, but it, for, for me, it was, I, you know, I was a full-time elementary school principal, and as we’re building Suncrest up, it became more and more challenging to balance balance both of those. I mean, literally burning candle at both ends. And I, I was looking for freedom of time. It’s not necessarily less stress. A lot of the, the skills and, and learning opportunities of being a, a principal and in education translate well to the position I’m in now with running operations and dealing with people and issues and problems that come up every day, really. But I, you know, the, the money part’s gonna be a big question for people. So it’s what, what, what can you what can you separate with that you’re gonna feel comfortable enough to, you know, provide for yourself if you’re by yourself or, or for your family and, and grow this business that you believe in and that, that you know, is gonna be successful.

Ryan:
So for me, it was essentially replacing my, my current income. I, I took a bit of a pay cut, but it was you know, it was a priority for me to do this, and we cut back in other, other places. So I think it’s measuring what your priorities are and then a adapting your budget or whatever it is kind of to follow your dream, make your dream come true, and, and to happen. So we, we wouldn’t be able to do, be where we’re at now if we’re, we’re at 20 mobile home parks and three RV parks in the, in the retail center. If I was still doing part-time. ’cause My, my business partners still has, you know, he’s full-time, W2 and our other partners full-time, W2. And so it’s it’s challenging if you don’t have the full-time to devote to it to grow it.

Charles:
Yeah. Yeah, that’s, it’s great that you guys are all on the same page and working with each other and their schedules and because yeah, everybody’s situation’s a little different and it’s a lot of great information. It’s really kind of figuring out what your priorities are, I think, and, and really just taking that leap.

Ryan:
Yeah. The, the leap is that was, it’s challenging. You know, I, I I was in education for that long and it’s a very secure job with you know, you’ve, you’ve got retirement, you’ve got all those, all those really attractive aspects of it. And that this is, I, I believe in this and it’s gonna, it’s, it’s happening. It’s working. We’re growing. And it, so it, it’s fun. I en I enjoy it. Like, I get up and I, I enjoy what I do every day. And then I have flexibility. I can schedule meetings when I need to and have family time when, when I want to. So it, it just works.

Charles:
Nice. So, Ryan, what are some of the common mistakes over the years that you’ve seen mobile home investors make?

Ryan:
Yeah, probably a lot of the same ones I made when I first started. Not at some point, you do have to jump in, but it’s having the education and background or partnering with other people. So my, my advice would be to, to invest with people that have been doing it for a while. You know, we, we offer several investments for as, as deals come in, but there, there are a lot of quality operators out there. So I, I’d strongly suggest people try that route first to as limited partners and kind of learn from afar. But if, if you’re more risk tolerant and you wanna just jump in what I’ve seen as people aren’t educating themselves, I see it on the Facebook forums for mobile home parks. So I, I try to reach out to them. Just I think a couple days ago somebody was asking for, Hey, I’m, I’m looking at this mobile home park, I, I want to buy, or I, I think I almost have it on contract. What questions should I ask the seller? I’m like, oh, <laugh>,

Ryan:
Okay, let me, let me help you out. So both, both my business partner and I, we enjoy helping people. We, you know, we offer scheduled time for people to, to connect with us to kind of learn like where, what should I do, what steps should I do? There’s Mobile Home Park University out there. I’m working with another in investor. We’re actually developing our own mobile home course, mobile home park investing and operating course, and a Lonnie dealer fix and flip course as well. There’s, there’s some out there. We’re, we believe we’re providing a, a, a, a different value than, than what’s already on the market, but I’d say education, education, education, connecting with other owners and, and look at that limited partner investment opportunity before you jump into your own. I’ve seen more people successful with that route, rather than just jumping in and then asking questions later.

Charles:
Yeah, that’s a lot of great information. And also, if you go the limited partner route you can also, now, you can request time from that general partner in most situations to get an, a little bit more of an idea of what’s happening at the park. Or maybe they’ll give you more of a, an update with, you know, with normal correspondence. So there’s a lot of benefits in going the LP route, but really it’s it’s really the education of and figure out what you really want, because I think a lot of people get into real estate investing. They just want passive income Yeah. <Laugh> and you know what I mean? Yeah. And when you’re on the operating side, it’s, you know, parts of it are semi-passive, right? But a lot of, there’s a lot of operations that go into it to get it to that point for your a true passive investment for your LPs.

Ryan:
Yeah, for sure. I’ve seen that the, the excitement wears off very quickly, <laugh> for, for people. And if it’s truly not what they wanna do, and they were, they were looking for mailbox money, that, that property’s in trouble. And that asset’s in trouble. So I, I’ve seen that happen a lot. So it’s, it, it is really like, to your point, knowing, knowing what you wanna do in, in the long run, and if you want mailbox money, there’s plenty of opportunity for that out there. If, if you want to grind it out on, on the general partner side and operations side, where eventually there’s gonna be a big payoff, and then you can maybe be a little less active you know, go, go for it. But it is, it’s, it is not sit back and collect the, the checks. So

Charles:
For sure. So Ryan, how can our listeners learn more about you and your business?

Ryan:
Yeah, so suncrest cap.com is is our website. We have an investor portal there. There’s information on Brett and I, and you can reach out and schedule time to to meet with either of us. Brett’s more on the investor side of things. So if you’re, you’re interested in that limited partner work opportunity, he’d be the one to talk to. And if you want to and learn more on the operations, I’m the one that you can connect with. But we both, we both know enough about the other side to be dangerous. So but yeah, we, we love to connect with new people especially new folks in the space just educate ’em. We, we wanna see this space grow and with, with quality folks that are taking care of their communities and their tenants and, and to just to, to change the mindset of the asset type.

Ryan:
Like there’s so much preconception that’s not positive with mobile home parks. I prefer manufactured home communities, but most people know them as mobile home parks or trailer parks. So we’re, we’re improving these communities. We’re raising, you know, we, we raise rents in a responsible way to keep the highest and best use of the property. I could talk a lot about that, but I won’t as a mobile home community. Otherwise, you know, within a a given year, you have a, you know, there’s roughly a hundred mobile home parks in the country that are wiped off the map, rezoned, redeveloped, and maybe 10 being built, or 10 being, you know, so there’s a net loss of this opportunity out there, which it, it, it’s tough and a lot of the reasons, a lot of the times it’s because mom and pop owners have kept rents so low that that’s not the highest and best use of that property anymore. So we, we try to do that responsibly so we’re not pushing people out, but also trying to provide that affordable housing for folks.
