Operational thoughts while facing constant dilemas
City governments, handymen/contractors, tenants, local vendors - establishing great relationships with these folks can be absolutely vital to our success as MHP operators. However, at the end of the day, these people do not care as much (or at all) about you & your partner’s success, and the success of your community as you do. Point being, like the age old addage goes, “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself”. A reminder to us all to continue to tighten up operations, ensuring that the business plan is executed. No one is going to do it for you.

The struggle is real. People / team members have different reasons for going to work each day. Keeping them motivated can get tough. If possible having a10 min check in with each person everyday asking them how you doing? Anything I can consult on? How's home life? Showing interest in your teams family can help build the team members ambition. Along with that, if possible lead a morning team meeting touching on what was completed, what's still in progress and any additional pop up issues. This can help ensure your team knows to plan. I know many may use vendors vs employees, taking a similar approach is still viable. Vendors can be trained to be more responsive. If they don't there's always others out there willing to work. It's not easy anyway you stack it up but keep as positive as you can and involve your team as much as it makes sense. Hiring isn't easy so put the time in to properly vet people. City workers can either be with you or against you. City hall violation meetings can be brutal. Sometimes donation to an organization or city seats campaign might help but getting involved with community might even help in the name of your company. It could also be risky but what more can we do as affordable housing providers. I think this is a great topic to build on. Especially if you invest in multiple markets. Thanks for sharing! Matt

@Michael Pansolini did I repost this correctly?
Grateful!
I had a one-on-one with @Ryan Narus today, and I walked away with so much clarity and direction in my strategy. You cannot do any business alone, and I’m truly grateful to be surrounded by amazing people like Ryan and @Michael Pansolini . Thank you both for the value, guidance, and knowledge you share. I appreciate you so much!

Same here. Working through a plan with seasoned advisors does help bring the clarity to focus.

How to use the spreadsheets. Is there a training video on them?

Cold calling is the cheapest and best for results.
Build the grip strength before you load up the bar
245 lbs on the bench press today! A new Personal Record! Not bad for a guy who spent most of his 20s behind a desk. Halfway through my set, I couldn't finish! Not because my chest gave out. My hand did. That soft spot between my thumb and index finger felt like it was going to tear. I couldn't grip the bar anymore. After 400+ hours of listening to @Ryan Narus turn literally everything into a metaphor, I've picked up the habit too lol So here's the metaphor: A lot of operators build chest strength (investor capital, deal pipeline, acquisition skills) without building grip strength (operations, systems, property management). You can lift the weight. But can you hold the bar? Sure, you closed on 500 sites. But do you have the systems to actually run them? Or are you white-knuckling it until something tears? I see this all too often. Investors rush to scale, buy multiple parks, and then realize their operations can't handle the load. Don't be that guy/gal... Build the grip strength before you load up the bar. Sure you can buy the assets....you've built the investor base and you have the deal pipeline, but can the rest of your operational systems handle the additional volume? Many people build the engine while they are flying the plane, which I recommend to an extent because it builds urgency, but many more fail to load the plane with the correct parts before taking off, and then they end up in free fall. If you want to learn how to scale your systems ALONGSIDE building your portfolio, come check out our program. I promise the value is tremendous and we have dozens of 5 star reviews and testimonials to prove it. Come build your plane with us! Me, Ryan, and hundreds of others awesome, humble investors and operators in The MHP Pros Mastermind will help keep you in the air for the long run (although candidly we cannot do anything about your grip strength)
