Welcome back,
In today’s video we talk with an active mobile home investor who started his mobile home investing business in Delaware and has since moved more than 2,000 miles away. In this 30-minute interview we sit down with Daniel as he opens up his investing business to share what is working and not working for him. Please make sure to listen to the full interview to take away as many nuggets to implement in your own local mobile home investing business.
We are extremely happy to bring you this video lesson because Daniel shares what most of us share when we start: Fear, Analysis-Paralysis, and ultimately Courage to push through and Win. When Daniel started investing in manufactured homes he absolutely had his reservations and anxieties with regards to speaking with new people in the mobile home investing realm (I.E. Park managers, owners, banks, dealers, sellers, etc). I mentioned this to you because almost everyone, definitely including myself, was/is scared as hell getting started in a brand-new business we have little to no experience with. This is natural. Feel the fear, know the proper steps, and take action.

July 30, 2016Hey John,
Very good article and interview. Thank you for taking the time to explain a little bit more about the deal in the video. I can relate to the video a bit because I have been a eager seller in the past with some tools and equipment I needed to sell quickly. I know this is not the same as the situation you went through but there is absolutely an area to profit when one knows what they are doing. I will be looking further into your site and contacting you soon with questions. Thank you.

August 2, 2016Hi Lexington & Co,
Thanks for reaching out and connecting. Additionally, thank you so much for your kind words. I do hope that the article and video has been somewhat helpful to you thus far. I think most of us can relate to being a frustrated seller that is emotional about what they are selling and needs to get out quickly. With that said thank you for bringing this up and mentioning the time with your equipment and tools. You also mention that there are areas to profit from when people are in this type of situation. On a personal note it is important that we do make a profit however we also provide a service to our sellers. We are not here to argue with sellers or undercut what they need to move. Instead, we want to work one on one directly with sellers to come to win-win scenarios to sell their homes so they can move on to their next property and life mission. I hope this helps and make sense. Please feel free to look around the site and if you have any follow-up questions or concerns please never hesitate to reach out any time.
Talk soon,
John

July 30, 2016John,
Do you have any scheduled seminars or convention appearances coming up?
John Fedro
August 2, 2016Hi Jed,
Thank you for reaching out and connecting. No, I do not have any schedule like this as of yet. To be honest with you I would rather be working with people one on one directly in the fields versus speaking in front of folks on stage in some big seminar room. This is probably a big reason I do not host or speak at many seminars. I’m sorry that I was not able to provide you with such a list. With that said if you have any general or specific questions or concerns never hesitate to reach out any time. Although we won’t be talking face-to-face I will still be happy to answer any questions or confusions you have moving forward. Never hesitate to reach out.
Talk soon,
John
