Chris Kelch intro
What’s up everyone, Chris Kelch here. I was in one of Ryan’s Legacy mentorship groups, and his mentorship was huge for me. I'm grateful that Michael and Ryan have launched this program. In 2022, I purchased three heavy value‑add mobile home park projects at roughly the same time. I'm only now getting to the other side of that push: back above water and set to close on a big refi for those deals in a couple of weeks. My original strategy was “all value‑add, all equity multiple” so I could stay bootstrapped. Looking back, I wouldn’t recommend that. The risk of total burnout and the whole thing coming apart is very real. So going into 2026, we’re pivoting: I’m taking Ryan’s advice and only taking on one major project at a time. That said, taking tired trailer parks and turning them into thriving manufactured housing communities has been extremely fulfilling. No words can describe how incredible it is to hand over keys to a resident who never thought they'd be able to afford a home. Being the first real landlord after a long line of slumlords. Actually giving a sh*t about a park and investing back into the community as opposed to sucking the life out of it. This industry is so rewarding if approached the right way. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone here!

Welcome back, Chris! We're happy to have you here! in the time between 2021 and today, we've added a lot of tools and a lot of materials to the course! Not to mention, we built a full-blown community! We have so many great people in this group (and we've just added another)! Thank you for embodying the MHP Pros spirt by sharing your story. By doing so, you are inspiring others like you! What's even better is that you have given us a word of caution on taking on too much in too short a time! That said, the endeavor sounds like it turned into a pretty sweet portfolio! Well Done! I'm sure in doing so you learned a ton, and I can't wait to hear more about it in our live sessions! If you have any questions, we're here. I hope you find this community to be a place you can lean on to solve any of your MHP problems (and we're also pretty solid listeners for non-MHP related problems as well).

Paid Mentorship IS Worth It
ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS: you see my progress and you comment about who, what, where and how. I came in to this niche with no knowledge of mh other than some of my friends grew up in trailers. EVERYTHING I learned is from the systems taught by the founders of this group. Watch the training videos, practice the exercises, join the weekly calls and when you need help join the mentorship group. PAY FOR YOUR SUCCESS. It’s much cheaper to get the concentrated knowledge than to struggle with diy. I paid for group mentorship and got my training wheels on and bought a few small parks. I utilized Ryan’s brain again and bought a bigger one. When I needed to adjust my systems to get past a blockade, I paid for the one on one. This group is not a Facebook group or just some chat forum with no bite. Invest hard dollars in yourself and it will be worth it. Make connections, partner with people if needed, be an lp if you like what you see but can’t/won’t jump in full force. There are tens of millions if not hundreds of millions worth of deals flowing through this group every year. Jump in with a solid foundation and grow. There is no left behind bc the opportunity is always there but it is the cheapest it will ever be. FYI…I have lp investors in my own deals in this group, I have mentees of my own in this group, I have gp money partners in this group! I don’t make money off you buying into the mentorship’s. I make money off the relationships I grow and the business I create from the solid gold I have mined from the founder’s brains. CONQUER 2026

This is so well stated. I cannot stress enough how important it is to get in-the-moment feedback on the specific challenges you are facing. Mentors ARE NECESSARY in EVERYTHING you do. Every professional athlete has a coach, even the greatest ones - you are a professional investor, what makes you any different? INVEST IN YOURSELF! I will always do this! I buy courses, mentorships, and masterminds TO THIS DAY!
Start the year right

Infill Project Questions
Hey all, my day job is as an appraiser and I work on a lot of MHC's. Many lenders that I work with have a limited understanding of MHCs and I want to make sure we aren't missing anything on our end when we work on infill/turnaround projects. I am hoping our group can help to answer some questions: 1. Have you ever had a tenant bring their own used home into one of your developments? 2. Aside from LTO and lease-option, what other methods do you use to attract new TOH tenants? The disconnect on the lender front is that they most often want the value of the real property only (excluding POH). For an infill/turnaround project there is a lot of intangible business value (operator's expertise) and personal property value (POH's that are brought in) involved and our stabilization assumptions could be anything depending on the plan and how deep the operator's pockets are. Interested to hear what your experience is.

Sorry for the delay in answering this, @Ned Palmer. I actually had a whole response written out, and then, unfortunately, it got deleted before I could post it! the lender is right to be nervous and confused about what the value is. Often times lenders will not lend on the POH component at all. In my experience, they will never lend on future infill. Of course, my experience is in value-add mobile home parks. Little to no one in this group has development experience. That said, there are many people in this group with infill experience, including myself. There's a confluence of factors that will affect a successful infill project. The first is affordability. How affordable are the homes you're bringing in, and can your tenant base support a $50,000 to $100,000 home sale, whether that be the downpayment OR the monthly cost of the "mortgage" aka chattel notes. The second is: Is home ownership even a quality of the market you're in? Many markets are rental markets, whether you offer really affordable homes or not. Some people don't want the headache of home ownership. To answer your questions directly, yes, I have had a tenant try to bring their own home into our developments, and we for sure incentivize them to do so by covering their transport costs. We offer rent concessions for the first 1-3 months, and we offer low down payments on our refurbished homes in order to attract tenants. We try and keep the total monthly cost below that of a comparable two-bedroom, one-bath or two-bedroom, two-bath apartment unit. And we also try to make the lot rent portion of that total payment as high as possible, making the RTO payment as low as possible. For instance, if a total payment is $950, we will credit $700 to the lot rent and $250 to the RTO payment. This increases the value of your park by artificially raising the stated lot rent on the leases, which in turn shows as a lot more RTO income to a bank or the next buyer.
