This and every Tips and Tricks podcast episode is brought to you by The MHP Broker's' proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Ask Max for details. Here Are the Show Highlights: - Steve Case has conducted numerous mobile home park transactions, and was a co-founder of the innovative and highly influential Mobile Home University series of educational programs. (Max, 1:10) - Steve started investing in mobile home parks while he was still an active-duty Air Force pilot planning his eventual retirement. In 1999 he became interested in the industry and started by networking with, and picking the brains of, legendary industry mentors Lonnie Scruggs and Lonnie Too. Steve bought his first park in 2000, after reading and studying Lonnie's book on the topic, and later ran a few deals with Lonnie. (Steve, 1:54) - Along with partner Corey Donaldson, Steve started Mobile Home Park University in 2004 as a prime industry educational resource. By the time he retired from the Air Force in 2006, Steve owned six or seven mobile home parks and about as many self-storage facilities, all of them in the Southeast. Through Mobile Home Park University, he brought in such industry heavy hitters as Lonnie, Dike Spottiford, Dave Reynolds and Frank Rolf to speak. They also ran boot camps for more in-depth industry training. (Dave, 2:50) - By 2008, Steve's commitments to a growing family led to him taking a backseat in the educational program. Eventually, he and Corey sold mobilehomeuniversity.com to Frank Rolf and Dave Reynolds. (Steve, 3:50) - In potentially running deals with their students, Frank and Dave run the program a little differently than Steve and his partner had, but it's just as informative and innovative. (Steve, 4:27) - One of the first things Max did after becoming a mobile home park broker was to take Frank and Dave's home study course. He found it to be very valuable. (Max, 5:22) - More recently, Steve was also a co-founder of the Southeast Community Owners (SECO), a very influential industry association and annual trade show to this day. The specific audience for SECO includes mom-and-pop mobile home park owners, rather than big corporate entities. SECO is a non-profit, and virtually every penny is raises goes to help support U.S. military veterans who are park residents in financial need. (Max, 6:16) - Steve had met Spencer Rohn, a fellow board member, when asked to join the board of the Georgia Manufactured Housing Association. He and Spencer discussed the need for establishing an organization that would address the education and networking needs of those who owned parks, as well as those who were considering buying or selling parks, or were otherwise interested in joining or growing their place in the industry. They founded SECO in around 2008, initially with as few as eight or ten participants, and it's steadily grown since as an important annual event. (Steve, 7:11) - Today, the name is misleading since the organization isn't exclusive to community owners in the Southeast U.S. anymore. They come from all over the country. In addition to park owners, attendees have included manufacturers, brokers, vendors and others even peripherally connected to the industry. While Steve went largely inactive by around 2018, Spencer asked him to take on the educational element of the program this year. In response, Steve put together a program of twelve educational sessions with park operators. (Steve, 8:03) - Speakers involved with this year's program, which will take place September 10-13 in Atlanta, incl
