Hey everyone — Matt Fonk here in sunny Tampa, Florida
I’ve been in the real estate world since the mid-90s, starting with small businesses and eventually building Cavalier Estates LLC, a property management company that grew to over 200 rental homes and small multifamily units. I sold the management book in 2023, took a bit of time off, and realized pretty quickly that I wasn’t done — I just needed a new challenge. That’s what pulled me into mobile home communities. I’m now shifting my full attention to building a solid, well-run portfolio of parks over the next decade-plus. My focus is long-term cashflow, treating residents right, and creating stable communities with clean operations and repeatable systems. I’m here to learn, share, and connect with like-minded people who want to talk real underwriting, real numbers, and real deal-making. If anyone ever wants to brainstorm, partner, swap experiences, or just talk shop, I’m always open. Excited to be here and looking forward to getting to know everyone. — Matt
